Tax refunds

Hi all,

quick question, not entirely gnucash related. ;-)

I've finally done my tax paperwork, and am now expecting a refund (well, that
is the plan at least).

So, how to I book this?

Is it coming in via an Income:Refunds account, or do I deduct it from
Expense:Taxes ?

Another issue would be that it is a refund for 2001; but will show up in 2002.
Is that proper or should I book it on 2002-12-31 so it shows up in the right
year?

BTW, at the end of the month, I'll have been using gnucash for exactly a year.
It helped immensely to track where my money was or was not going. Thanks a
bunch!


Sincerely,
	Lars
