Hi Rustler,
Thank you very much for the reply. Yes, it's becoming clear that something manual is the only way forward here.
What I'm struggling with is the exact mechanisms to use / workflow to follow to pull off this manual tracking.
> "Use a donation item"
Are you saying I would create a quickbook "sales receipt?"
> "which posts to a donation income account"
Ok, yep, I have one of those. " 4 Contributions, Support - 4010 Individual/small business contributions"
> "to receive the value you sold the stock for on a sales receipt."
First, I am not able to follow your meaning here. Additionally, I think the value of the stock at time of donation is the first thing we would need to capture to truthfully and accurately keep track of our "gross receipts." Then (even if the price fluctuation was small) I think we would need to capture the realized gain or loss at time of sale.
> "deposit the funds"
What exactly does this instruction mean?
> "use an expense transaction to record the $2 fee"
But it appears that asset accounts cannot accept expenses since they are not income/expense accounts.
Thanks Rustler, looking forward to your reply.
Dominic
