[GNC] TXF Categories

[sunfish62 at yahoo.com]

I believe that txf has a standard (https://taxdataexchange.org/docs/txf/v042/index.html) that governs what gets puts into the GnuCash system. There doesn't appear to be an entry for non-qualified dividends in the spec, although there is an entry for qualified dividends.  

The GnuCash txf data appears to be in libgnucash/tax/us/txf.scm, so you're able to edit that if you choose, but you'd have to manage that on your own. Of course, the tax software using txf to receive this information wouldn't know what to do with it. 

I agree with David C., though. Use separate accounts and assign each as appropriate. You can get the data into the report by using the Report Only option, but would have to manually get it into a tax software, since the category is Report Only.
