Abstract
The tax report can be used to prepare online tax reports for specific countries, see Section 9.3.7, “Country Specific Reports”. Currently US and partial DE are supported.
 | Localization |
|---|---|
Before it can be used in other regions, one needs to provide a localized taxtable. See the instructions in the wiki. | |
The Income Tax Information dialog is used to set Tax Report Options. The settings on accounts in this dialog are used by the TXF Export function in reports to select the accounts for export. To access this dialog go to → .
 | Tip |
|---|---|
If the Income Tax features are used, it is strongly recommended that the Tax Info column be made visible on the accounts tab (click large downward-pointing arrow and select Tax Info check box). The Tax Info column will display the Form/Schedule and tax category (e.g., Schedule D Dividend, cap gain distrib.) assigned to an account, if any. Alternatively, it will display the following error messages which can be corrected through → :

The Income Tax Identity must be set in order to assign codes to individual accounts. Click to set the identity. The Tax Name is optional. If entered, it will be printed at the top of the report. A Type must be selected in order to activate the tax category selections. The choices are:
Individual, Joint, etc. - Files US Form 1040 Tax Return
Partnership - Files US Form 1065 Tax Return
Corporation - Files US Form 1120 Tax Return
S Corporation - Files US Form 1120S Tax Return
None - No Income Tax Options Provided
While the Income Tax Entity Type can be changed after tax categories have been assigned to accounts, you should be cautioned that you will need to manually change each one if you do so, which could be quite tedious.
The tax categories are unique for each Income Tax Entity Type, so changing the type will make all previously assigned categories invalid.
It is assumed (and highly recommended) that each GnuCash file is for only one tax entity and this is where you specify its type of tax entity.
You should not keep, for example, personal and partnership accounts mixed in one GnuCash file if you plan to use the Income Tax Reporting features.
A given TXF code can be assigned to multiple accounts. The Tax Schedule Report will combine accounts by code and generate a detailed TXF record for each account and a summary TXF record for the total as calculated by the report.
For codes for which the "Payer Name Source" is not grayed, the payer on the TXF record will be based on what is specified here, either the account name of the account or the account name of the account’s parent account. This feature is typically used for interest accounts or stocks or mutual funds that pay dividends where the individual payees are shown on the tax schedule. For example, if the parent account’s name is the name of your broker and the sub-account’s names are the names of individual stocks that pay dividends and the name on the 1099-DIV received is that of the broker, in order to match that name, you would select ’Parent Account’; the total dividends from the broker would be exported and, if you had several brokers, there would be an amount exported and a subtotal for each broker, along with each brokers name. Alternatively, if you had a parent account named Directly Held, for example, and below it sub-accounts for one or more stocks, you would receive a 1099-DIV from the issuer of each stock separately and, in order to match that name, you would select Current Account; the total dividends from each stock would be exported and, if you had several stocks, there would be an amount exported and a subtotal for each stock, along with each stock’s name as the payer.
Some tax Forms/Schedules need to have multiple copies filed under some circumstances (for example, Schedule C if a taxpayer and spouse have separate businesses). For tax categories on these Forms/Schedules, the Copy Number is not grayed out and can be used to segregate accounts by copy number.
Accounts: This pane contains the list of accounts. Select an account to set a TXF category. If no account is selected nothing is changed. If multiple accounts are selected, all of the accounts will be set to the selected item.
Tax Related: Select this check-box to add tax information to an account then select the TXF Category below. This setting is displayed on the account edit dialogue but cannot be changed from there.
TXF Categories: Select the desired one. A detailed description appears just below (if available, otherwise it says No help available), along with the TXF code for the category and information about what line number on the form or schedule the amounts are included in by tax year (used for detailed sort on report).
Payer Name Source: Select an option to determine where the text description that is exported along with the value of the account is derived from, as described above. This is usually the name of a bank, stock, or mutual fund that pays dividends or interest. Occasionally, it is a description of a deduction.
Copy Number: A copy number that is exported along with the value of the account. This is used to segregate amounts between different copies of the same Form/Schedule that may need to be filed (e.g., Schedule C(1), Schedule C(2), etc.). This is also used to sort the report.
TaxCut 1999
Code: N488 "^ Sched B \ Div. income, cap gain distrib."
Code: N286 "^ Sched B \ Dividend income"
These two codes, from the same payer, are not correlated. The user will have to adjust for this after import.
TaxCut 1999, 2000
Code: N521 " F1040 \ Federal estimated tax, quarterly"
Does not accept the date field and does not import the individual payment amounts, only the total. The date and individual payment amounts, only matter if you have to compute the penalty. (this may be a TurboTax enhancement)
Code: N460 " W-2 \ Salary or wages, self"
Code: N506 " W-2 \ Salary or wages, spouse"
and other related codes.
Use Copy Number to separate information from more than one job.
TurboTax 1999, 2000
Code: N521 " F1040 \ Federal estimated tax, quarterly"
Does not accept the dates outside of the tax year.
This is a problem for the last payment that is due Jan 15. GnuCash changes the the date of the last payment to Dec 31 for the export unless the "Do not use special date processing" option is selected in the report options display tab.
The user will have to adjust for this after import.
The date only matters if you have to compute the penalty.
TXF Tax eXport Format
Duplicate Codes
Codes can be assigned to multiple accounts and the amounts will be summed for all the accounts generating one detail TXF record per account and one summary TXF record for the sum. Codes that let you select "Payer Name Source" will generate a separate summary TXF account with each change in payer. Selecting the "Print TXF export parameters" option will cause the report to show to which codes this applies (Payer Name Source option Y) and, for the accounts assigned to those codes, the Name Source each account is set to and the TXF item number that will be assigned to each. A summary TXF record will be generated for each change in assigned item line number. These may not be handled the same by TaxCut and TurboTax.
Code: N673 "Short/Long gain or loss"
Short term or long term gain or loss from the sale of a security; generates TXF output for only the date sold and sales amount, with the date acquired and cost basis information left blank (to be separately added in the tax software).
The code can be assigned to either a short-, long-, or mixed-term gain/loss income account and the security sales transaction should be entered as illustrated in Section 8.7, Selling Shares, of the GnuCash Tutorial and Concepts Guide.
The report uses the transaction split of the gain/loss account to find one or more other splits in the same transaction with negative share quantities.
For each of these found, it generates a detailed TXF output record with the quantity sold, the name of the security, the date sold, and the sales amount.
Note that if, for a given transaction, more than one transaction split is to a gain/loss income account assigned to code 673, TXF output data will be erroneously repeated.
That is because the report will fetch the same data, and re-output it, for each transaction split set to a gain/loss income account within the same transaction.
For this reason, there should be no more than one gain/loss account entered per transaction to use this tax reporting code properly. (Note that no amounts are used from GnuCash’s lot-tracking; a future enhancement is expected to use this data to provide capital gain reporting).
