print out expense sub-categories details?

[Mike or Penny Novack]

OK, I think I can help. The first thing is that you have TWO problems. 
The first is more serious. The second is just pointing you to the report 
you want to run.

a) Transfers from Imbalance ---- No, no, no! As Derek says, this means 
you need to go back to the beginning with the documentation to 
understand how double entry bookkeeping works. But yes, even when you 
have learned that and are (usually) entering transactions correctly you 
will sometimes goof and end up with something in Imbalance or Orphan so 
you need to know how to fix that CORRECTLY (and not the way you have 
been doing it).

   When you see something in Imbalance you use the information there to 
find the original transaction that resulted in this entry in Imbalance 
(the other side of the transaction). You go THERE and change Imbalance 
to the proper account you should have entered in the first place (when 
you didn't select and account, gnucash defaulted to Imbalance).

b) You don't need to do screen shots. There is a report that will list 
all transactions by account (you can select just the accounts you want), 
the Transaction Report. It will subtotal them by month, etc. but you 
will of course need to look at all of the options available to you to 
select the ones that you want. HOWEVER -- I am a tad confused when you 
say "the IRS wants". That level of detail isn't for any tax form that I 
know of. Are you being audited? (I can see them saying "we doubt the 
amount you entered as "advertising expense; show us all the individual 
payments").
