I've had this over the last month (Quicken windows classic) Anyone else see this?

I have an account where the "money market sweep account" is treated as cash…as in the second option in this article…

https://info.quicken.com/win/how-do-i-track-the-performance-of-cash-in-an-inves

…and it says that if I do it that way, Quicken will automatically calculate the performance of the cash based on the dividends from the security identified as the "sweep". However, I can't find anywhere that this performance is conveyed…it's not on the INVEST tab and it's definitely not included in any return graphs (even when cash is selected). How do I find performance in this case? It'd be annoying if it didn't when it says plainly that it does…and it also says you can't go back to the "treat it like any other security with dividends and reinvestments" method.

I’m new to tracking investments (IRAs) in Quicken. Where do I start to track performance over time and see those historical values? There are 4 Traditional IRA accounts at one firm, and 1 ROTH, all with various managed Asset classes.

I rarely Reallocate but in 2 years I’ll begin taking RMDs. I thought about creating a separate Quicken file just for Investments in case I make a mess of it before gaining full understanding.
The Release notes indicate data can be imported from a csv file but I was able to connect directly and download data for one of the IRA accounts. It created 3 Placeholders with dates of 2024, one for each of the Asset classes in that account but I’m not sure what to do with those. The next time I tried another download did not add any new data.

If I import from a csv file, I can create that file as of the end of the previous month, not on any day in the current month but that’s okay.

If I create a separate Quicken File, I read that it could not be combined with my current working file (but it seems it could be imported in the future????).

I did input one Account (a single Stock) as a Simple account but I chose the wrong selection when entering the reinvested Dividends and it now has bad data and I don’t want to make that mistake again.
Should I start over with the Stock account and add back in as a Complete account to learn from? It has less than 2 years of activity and only quarterly reinvested dividends so it wouldn’t take long.
Thanks for any advice.

From what I've read, beyond Portfolio X-Ray and a few other bells and whistles, there is little difference between Quicken Premier and Deluxe. So next time I buy a renewal, I may as well switch to Quicken Deluxe if this isn't getting resolved.

So why does it seem to be getting such a low priority?

Tranch A pays a cash dividend and has two stock dividends

Tranch B only has stock dividends

Each account is named differently in Quicken, but is combined in Schwab. The stock dividends in each tranch are a percentage of the holdings in each tranch, but when I attempt to record them in Quicken, because Schwab transaction do not come over properly, I get wild multipliers in terms of share totals, because the stock dividend percentages are recorded on the total holding in Schwab, not the seperate accounts I have in Quicken. I cannot seem to figure this out. Wondering if deleting all of the transactions in Quicken and manually entering them would not be a solution, although I don't care for that one either. Thanks.

When I try and add my Fidelity account in Quicken, I get an error

Sign in to Fidelity Investments failed. Try again.
Sorry, the sign in failed due to time out or a connection error.
Select Sign In to authenticate via your web browser.

Click on Sign In again. Looks fine….I get this:

Your accounts have been authorized successfully!
You will now be redirected back to Quicken. If you are not redirected in a few seconds, you can close this window and return to Quicken

But then back to the error.

Any thoughts?

I have encountered this problem in the past and some kind of fix was put in place to replace this functionality. But it has disappeared again. Whatever happened to "backwards compatibility"?

This is creating big headaches for me. Help!

Thanks in advance for your help and suggestions.

For importing hundreds of buy/sell/dividend transactions via a .CSV, we don’t list the required column layout in our help content - it’s only referenced as an option (“Import account and transaction data using a .CSV file”) with a link to the steps, but the steps don’t include the field-by-field CSV format.

So there isn’t a published “proper format” for security transaction CSVs in the info we have here.

So, I can do it, but we don't know how. Is that correct?

Yes, that’s correct. Quicken for Windows supports importing account and transaction data from a .CSV, but we don’t publish the required column-by-column CSV format for security transactions (buys, sells, dividends) anywhere in our help content. 

So you can import a CSV, but there’s no documented “proper format” to follow for those investment transactions.

The only CSV format we do document is for importing security prices (symbol, price, and optionally date).

i understand your answer, but that does not resolve my question.

You’re right to push back. The “proper” CSV format for importing hundreds of investment transactions (buys, sells, dividends) isn’t published anywhere in our Windows help content, so there isn’t a documented field-by-field layout to follow. 

The only CSV format we do document is for importing security prices (symbol, price, and optionally date).

So for your use case, the best workaround is to use a different import method that Quicken supports, like a Web Connect (.QFX) file from a brokerage, or a QXF if you’re moving data between Quicken files.

C'Mon Quicken fix these nuisance issues!!!!

I tried to follow some other threads and can't seem to get Quicken to work per Jim Harman's instructions. My problem is simple. It's an investment account rollover that I took 5K out of the IRA to my cash account and paid $750 in Federal tax and $250 in state tax - both of which are categories I track and use in Quicken. I could easily transfer the whole 5K from one account to the other, but can't find a way to "split" the transfer so only 4K goes to my cash account and then categorize the taxes in their proper category. The only option I have is accounts and no categories show up.

Is anyone else having this issue?

20VANGUARD SP 500 INDEX ETF

20VANGUARD SP 500 INDEX ETF 1

20VANGUARD SP 500 INDEX ETF 2

20VANGUARD SP 500 INDEX ETF 3

This only happens on ETF funds and some mutual funds

Why is this process in Quicken? It's of no use. There is never a question of whether I'd like to accept a transaction. If ML sends it to me, it's correct. I'd like to simply ACCEPT ALL.

I've attached an image of the Value view of one of the investments. I've replaced the totals with description, I trust it's clear.

One weird thing is that the 'Amount Invested' is way off. And this isn't a case where I bought and sold the security at all - this shows all my investment activity on this security.

And even if the Amount Invested was right, it should still a small positive ROI.

Any idea what's happening and how to fix it?

The current % gain/loss for Ishares Gold (RING) at brokerage for these 2 shares is -.40%.

The current % gain/loss for Ishares A.I. (BAI) at the brokerage for these 8 shares is +2.11%

I sold some shares in two Vanguard ETFs. The Vanguard transaction reports show shares sold to four decimals, and those numbers downloaded correctly to Quicken.

However it seems that after recording the sale, Vanguard then rounded the online share balance to three decimals (this time in my favor), as I can see in the Vanguard Holdings screen. So now Quicken is telling me that there is a Securities Comparison Mismatch of 0.0005 and 0.0002 shares. It's offering to create a placeholder transaction for those shares. From the Help, it looks like if I do that, it will ask me about the cost basis.

1. Am I correct that Vanguard is rounding these share balances to three decimals?
2. What should I do in Quicken?

I realize these are tiny amounts but it seems I need a procedure to handle Vanguard rounding in Quicken.

The cash balance was way off ($24,000) in Investment Account Register compared to cash showing in Portfolio view. Restored old 9/12/2025 file and register agrees with portfolio view ($150.56). Restored old 9/18/2025 file and error appeared. Didn't notice it until I was troubleshooting some downloaded transactions. Problem appears to be related to transactions entered in 2004 when transferring securities from another company to Schwab. Attached problem screen shot (9/18/2025 restore) and OK screen shot (9/12/2025 restore) of these old transactions.

When selling a stock and selecting lots, the pop-up form is too small for the font so the gain/loss column is unreadable. This should be easily fixed except you have removed the ability to resize the form or any of the columns.
