Reports/Tax/"Schedule A" vs "Tax Summary" vs "Tax Schedule"

A Liability Account is created to record a building fund pledge.  Monthly, a check is written to the organization.  The Checking Account is credited (by listing the [building fund] account) and the Liability account is debited (via a transfer transaction).  In this way, the amount paid every month is tracked, as well as the amount remaining in the pledge.

Using Edit/Delete Account/Tax Schedule option, a tax line has been assigned to the Liability account (Schedule A: Cash Charity Contributions) for both transfers in and out.

When running the report "Tax/Tax Summary" the transfers from Checking to Liability show up as transfers, as expected. 

When running the report "Tax/Tax Schedule" the transfers appear, as expected, under the "Cash Charity Contributions" header (due to the assignment of the account's transfers to the Schedule A tax line).

When running Tax report "Tax/Schedule A" the transferred amounts are not included.  They do not appear anywhere in the report.

The "Tax/Schedule A" report's settings are set as follows:

Accounts Select all

Categories Select all

Payees Select all

Tags Select all

Advanced (no settings.  There are no options on this tab.  Usually this is where the

instructions to include transfers are listed.  But, there is nothing on this

page other than the word "Transactions".)

I'll leave it to the experts, but I think all of the various reports should match.  And, perhaps the "Advanced" tab on the Schedule A is broken.

Is this normal?

Thanks, in advance.

Hello @Timothy Collier

Thank you for taking the time to report this issue to the Community, although I apologize for any frustration or inconvenience experienced.

I worked with the Tax Schedule A, B and D reports and can confirm that the Customize > Advanced tab shows blank for me as well, however, if I drill down into the report to the transaction level, I then get the options in the Customize > Advanced tab to include transfers and/or unrealized gains in the Schedule B and D reports.





I hope this information is helpful and please let us know if drilling down to the transaction level of the report still does not show the Advanced tab options for you.

Thank you,

Sarah

From C. D. Bales:

"Advanced (no settings.  There are no options on this tab.  Usually this is where the instructions to include transfers are listed.  But, there is nothing on this page other than the word 'Transactions'.)"

That seems to be where the problem lies - I can't say whether it intentional or accidental.

In my tests, all the personal individual tax schedule reports (A, B, D) appear to exclude transfers by default ... with no way to change that default.

[The Customize > Advanced tab in Q2017 and Q2012 looks the same as it does in Q2019.]

Thanks for the response.  In my opinion, excluding transfers from the individual tax schedule reports makes those reports problematic, especially when half of the capability works (assigning transfers in an account to a specific tax schedule line).  I would consider this a bug.
