Don't forget on the paycheck, you also have to debit all the withholding accounts as well. Your salary is more than what cited to your checking out savings account.

Hi. EVERY Gnucash entry is DOUBLE ENTRY.
But you've answered your own question.
Debit Assets:Current Assets:Checking Account for $100
Credit the income account of your choice but Income:Gifts Received is
exactly what I would use too!
For Salary, Debit Checking Account, Credit Income:Salary Received.
