[Gyle McCollam]

This would be your entry:

Parent Brokerage Account                $8.61
Tax Account                                      $1.52
Dividend Income Account                                   $10.63

Hope this helps you and is clear.


Thank You,

Subject: [GNC] Split Transaction Confusion Again


I'm having trouble entering a split transaction for a stock dividend &
the tax that was withheld.

The stock has a dividend of   $10.13
Tax withheld is   $1.52
This leaves a cash deposit of $8.61 in the parent brokerage account.

How do I enter a split transaction that shows the dividend of $10.13,
puts the tax of $1.52 into a tax tracking account and adds $8.61 to the
cash balance in the parent brokerage account?

As with a straight dividend I'm entering the main transaction in the
parent brokerage account.

No matter which way I try making these entry's I always have an amount
added to the imbalance account or the $10.13 added to the cash balance.
I have read GNU Cash Documentation on split transactions several times
and I still can't figure this out.

Thanks.
