[GNC] GNUCash 3.4 has bug for US Tax forms which is using wrong beginning value.

I discovered that my 1120S entity had the wrong totals for the
Cash/Assets on the Tax Income/Deductible Expenses Report (tax report)
compared to the Transaction Record for the Account. I then ran the tax
report with show transaction detail and noticed that the beginning
balance was wrong.  On looking at the accounts it appeared any
transaction with a 12/31 date of the previous account period was being
excluded from the beginning balance total.  

On looking at bugzilla closed and open issues, there was  the same
problem with a fix closing the issue reported on January 19, 2019.  The
simple fix is available by going to the maint branch and downloading
the taxtxf.scm from
https://github.com/Gnucash/gnucash/tree/maint/gnucash/report/locale-specific/us

On Linux I renamed 
/usr/share/gnucash/scm/gnucash/report/taxtxf.scm 
to
taxtxf.scm.orig
 and replaced the file with the one from maint git,
restated GNUCash and all was corrected. 

FYI.  Hope the Helps some one else.
