[GNC] Split tax year transaction

[Sherlock]

Hi Fred,

Generally, we attempt to mimic what is happening in the financial 
institution's account record so that it's simpler to reconcile with our 
account record but that isn't always easy.  The approach I suggest is to 
enter the $51.10 capital gain in 2023 and the $10.39 capital gain and 
$1.54 dividend in 2024 so that the income reports are accurate.  You can 
add a note to the transactions that explains what happened.  If you want 
the 2024 $63 deposit transaction, you can include a self-referencing 
split for the $51.10 2023 amount in the 2024 transaction.

Regards,

Sherlock
