That would be great - great approach.

One other thing I've been meaning to get to, but I need help from someone
like you, is adding the capability to generate capital gains/losses TXF
output, which gnucash doesn't yet do. If you could also include in your
test Quicken output some dummy capital gains and capital losses, and
confirm that the tax software can accept that output correctly, I would
have a 'proven' model to base my gnucash output on.

If we can spot the difference between the Quicken and gnucash outputs, I
will modify the gnucash report and TXF output accordingly and send you the
report so you can test it.

Any time in the next several weeks is fine with me.

Thanks for your help.
