[GNC] Tax Schedule Report / TXF Export

[sunfish62 at yahoo.com]

I'm not sure why you think the TXF report "needs help."

Gnucash knows the current date (I assume you mean in the register) because that portion of the software is set to use your computer's date. Many reports, however,  are defined to use the accounting period *you choose*. The TXF report is one. 

You've told GnuCash to use CY2024 as its accounting period. Always. The TXF report (rightly,  IMO) defaults to using the prior year. 

If you were to change the Accounting period setting either to use CY2025, or to set the values to be the relative start and end of the year, the TXF report would default to 2024. Personally, I have the latter, and each year, the TXF report just works. If you choose the former, you'll need to remember to change the values every year.
