[GNC] Transaction Date issues during import OFX file (TD Bank)

[xraive .]

Sorry for the late response.  I tried removing [-5:EST] and the issue still persists. All the dates are still reported as one day earlier.  I imported the same file in MSMoney and the dates matched the banks if that helps.

Thanks for your assistance so far.

That -5 EST relates local time to universal time and may come into play if
the local computer clock is not set to the local time zone.  Usually it
clarifies the source time reference of the data.
