Maybe a shortcoming or two?

I'm newish to Moneydance - generally happy with it but there are a couple of things the program doesn't seem to handle very well and requires creative workarounds.

1) Dividends paid by companies which include a tax credit (common in Australia).
2) Return of (part) capital while still holding the original number of shares/units.
3) Program doesn't seem to allow bank accounts as "investments".

Anyway.........for consideration.

    Hi David,
    I can't speak to 1 or 3.
    2) To report a Return of Capital, sell zero shares for the amount of the ROC.

    Thats fine -- except that MD won't then allocate the 'sold' shares against the purchases. It then also refuses to allocate any other (real) sales of the same stock against purchases.
