[GNC] Thank you

[Doug]

Thanks Adrien. Every year I need to send my data to my accountant who does not (yet) use Gnucash. I did not have any success exporting to .qif files: not sure why. (Would not read into Quickbooks)
I thought a spreadsheet might be better way to go.

 This is a new accountant because my last accountant retired (at 85! & still runs a farm: tough people these rural folk). Previously I supplied hard copy reports because they were old-school.
The new accountant is quite happy for electronic version, but last year I had no success with her reading my files. 
Basically, I have always prepared a report on each account for the 12 months which detail my tax deductible transactions.
I am no accountant, & even tho I have used Gnucash for years, I still have issues every tax year but usually bumble through.

regards, Doug

One advantage of the full history of the accounts is when a property is sold: all the old figures are at your fingertips which is much easier than the other well known commercial products (which do not easily run on Linux anyway). I am a PCLinuxOS user, also for many years (Easy to use & recommended too).
