I don't believe that there's a single report that shows both Beginning and Ending balances (these are Balance sheet items) and Income and Expenses (these are P&L items).

You need 2 reports.

Run a Net Worth report for last year with an interval of year. That's will give you the beginning and ending balances in detail.

Run a Spending report by categories for last year. If you want some detail about one of the categories simply click through to see the detail. If everything goes right then the difference between the beginning and ending Overall Totals on the net worth reports should equal the Overall Total on your spending report.

If you've made any self-referencing entries in any Accounts during the year then the math, Ending Overall Total - Beginning Overall = Spending Overall Total won't work; the self-referencing entries will be reconciling items.

I suggest you consider using a customized Transaction report. For example, select Reports > Banking > Transaction, Last year in the Date range: pull-down menu, and Category in the Subtotal by: pull-down menu.

Thank you to all of you who made suggestions...

While the suggestions didn't give me the ONE report I wanted... I incorporated all the suggestions and manually transfered all the important data into one report.

Thank you and Happy New Year...
