You know, I thought @DryHeat was probably right that this had something to do with transfers, so, like him, I created a Test Liability account and charged myself $25 mortgage interest fee, and it doesn't show up in any reports. And this after I go in and choose all accounts including the test account.

I even checked the Settings:Accounts to make sure that it hadn't somehow got set to ignore in Reports. This is weird.

Guess what? It does show up in the Planned Spending of the Spending Plan under Fees. (I just called it a fee as I already had an expense category for that.)

P.S. I woke up and played with this some more. I even made a Mortgage Interest category. It all shows up in Spending Plan whether it is recurring or not. But it won't show up in Tax Report or Spending Reports.

I even tried excluding the account and unexcluding the account and doing the same with the transactions, and that made no difference either. I couldn't figure out any workaround other than to reclassify the liability account to a credit account. Then it all worked! (It even works as a bank account or an asset account (just has a negative balance). So there's the workaround, make your liability account for the time-being a negative asset.

I am wracking my brain trying to figure out why Liability Account transactions would be excluded from Reports. So it must be a bug.

@stevel0821 I have a couple of questions to try to get a better handle on this:

—What sort of transactions are you testing? (transfers? income category? expense category?)

—What sort of reports are you running that don't show those transactions?

I ask because the accounts where transactions are not showing up are loan accounts, and transactions in those types of accounts are usually transfers. (i.e., you are either borrowing money or paying it back, neither of which should show up in and income or expense report.)

You've probably already thought of that, but I just wanted to check.
