[GNC] Misleading loss on money market

[Fred Tydeman]

In looking at the transactions, it is due to the way I entered my
Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) for my Regular IRA.
There are the two normal splits of:
  selling some shares and
  putting the proceeds into an asset account (bank).

I wanted by RMD to show up as taxable income, so I added two
more splits of:
  Income account (IRA distribution)
  Expense account (dummy to balance that income).

It is that dummy Expense split that shows up as both
  the unrealized loss and
  the brokerage fees

Is there a better way to record the RMD as taxable income?
