Money mimics the way most brokers treat accred interest on bond purchases --
i.e., not very well. You'll need to track the amounts manually and then
enter them on your tax forms. Accrued interest on sales is handled
(somewhat) better.

In Money 2006 Deluxe, how is accrued interest associated with bond purchases
treated?

If I enter it in the accrued interest field of the purchase record, it is
(properly) deducted from cash in the account, and then seems to disappear
from all reports - including tax reports and data exports. If I enter it as
a separate transaction with a negative value, it shows up in most areas okay,
but in the projections screen (Tax Line Manager) it becomes a positive value
in the year-to-date calculation but is treated as a negative in the
projection.
