I was trying to figure out a wallet-centric way how to get that information... since it should be there right?

Well, it would be received by an address associated with a given account and it will be part of that given transacion. How more wallet-centric do you need to be?

So are certain transactions stored / copied into the wallet?  Then that would make sense.

@makerofthings7 I think all transactions relating to your wallet are stored in the wallet, including double-spends against it.

How do I view the "change" addresses in my wallet? listreceivedbyaddress 0 true doesn't work
