You can use different categories for long and short term cap gains (and I even have another set for tax deferred accounts.) I think the transactions don't need different inherent types - you get a dividend of some sort and you either get the cash or use it to buy additional shares. The dividend could be interest, dividends, long or short term capital gains distributions. Using different Categories is sufficient to allow you to prepare the reports you need to prepare your taxes. Separately, it is known that Investments needs a major overhaul, but that is not high on the current priority list. Right now the basics of capital gains are not really handled by KMM. I'm actually working on accumulating all the various things that need to be dealt with, which are now not really addressed. I'll add all this to the list, but nothing is likely to happen in the near future.

While I agree that a high level category of distributions can include dividends, special dividends, stocks/company spin outs and the various capital gains would obviously be preferred. As a brand new user, I guess I am highlighting the obvious. As I get deeper into it, I certainly agree that Investments needs to be better, I have some other feedback as I struggle getting my data into the program, should I write those up as individual bug/wishlist items - what is preferred? Some are usability, others are feature support - futures and options categories, etc. If it's clearly a bug, this is the place. Usability questions or wondering whether something is a bug or not are best handled elsewhere, see https://kmymoney.org/support.html for a list of available options. I'm going to change this bug to a wishlist for now. I might close it if the basic request is covered in another existing wishlist bug I've forgotten. Minor point: if you reply to a bug by email, your entire message becomes the comment, so you should delete the previous content, unless there is something specific you are responding to. |
