Return of Capital
rmartel
In recording a return of capital, what category is used? I couldn't find a category, do I simply add a category in the investment group?

Return of capital should be entered using a
RtrnCap
or
RtrnCapX
action investment transaction: press
Ctrl + N
and select
Return of Capital
in the
Enter transaction:
pull-down menu.

A return of capital is not credited to any "Category". Instead, it's a reduction in the basis of the security that returned the capital. From an accounting standpoint its recorded as:
Debit (increase) cash $XXX
Credit (decrease) basis of security [name] $XXX

Tom, thank you for your prompt reply. Best answer I've gotten. I should have figured it out.
