Jan, I don't know how long ago you purchased Quicken for Mac, but if it's under 60 days, you can get a full refund from Quicken. (As for "I surely could have found a better product" on the Mac, that's a subject of some debate around here, but if you get your money back, you can try what else is out there if you wish.)
Jan, interesting observation you make about research; When I decided to purchase an iMac the main issue outside of Mac software vs Windows Office products was "how am I going to handle Quicken". I spent a few weeks prior to pulling the trigger here learning the differences between QW & QM..Had been a QW user for many, many moons. The info I obtained allowed me to understand the differences/lack of capability (QM16 at the time)versus what I was used to dealing with in QW. I made my decision based on the excellent inputs here in the community threads. The result, when I decided to purchase QM16 , for the most part I understood what I could & could not accomplish with QM and subjected myself to the minimal number of surprises/frustrations.
Its a MUST for me also..
Michael: Quicken almost never comments on future features, and very rarely posts replies to requests here either. We can only wait and wonder what new features will come and when.
I too say a reconciliation report is a must. How in the world do you go back 2 months and prove you truly reconciled your account with out a report proving you were in balance?
Printing a report is one way. Another is Quicken recording and tracking the reconciliations performed. You may want to also add your VOTE to Track/store Prior Reconciled Statements/periods.
This could be a deal breaker for me to not have the ability to print a reconciliation report after I balance an account.
No printing of reconciliation report in Qm, but you might be able to do a screenshot & print that if you like
The report function in QM 2018 is significantly less than that of the Windows Product. A reconciliation report one would expect to be a standard report and yet it is not in the QM product.
Just remember to add your VOTE above...
Carolyn, one thing to understand about the new-generation of Quicken for Mac is that some features from the past don’t exist simply because they haven’t gotten around to coding them yet. The developers had to start over from scratch, and they have a long list of feature requests from users as they work through re-developing 20+ years of work on the old Quicken. It’s taking a lot longer than they expected, and a lot longer than many users want. The only good thing is that they are making progress, and there are new features every couple months.
Also, BTW, you may not know that while you have a reconciliation in progress, you can print that window as you can any register. Not sure if that's what you're looking for.
Every good accountant has to prove the bank statement did in fact balance back to the check register. A report is needed to prove that you did in fact balance each month. If one month you can’t balance with the bank’s statement and you go to the bank for assistance, they will ask you to show them where you last balanced. Showing what checks/deposits were outstanding at that reconciliation.
If so many users want this why are there only 64 “votes” for this? Maybe because the instructions say vote at the top of the pages when in fact you vote at the bottom.
Quicken Tyka,
Richard, If Quicken couldn't do bank reconciliations, that would obviously be a severe and unacceptable limitation -- but it can. Quicken does allow you to reconcile an account just like the back-of-every-bank-statement form -- but it does so on the screen, not on a printed report. You can see if you've balanced correctly or not on the screen. I reconcile my accounts monthly without problem, and without printing anything.
VOTES are ALWAYS at the TOP of the page... where the big VOTE button is. If it says UNVOTE it means you have already recorded your VOTE.
If all you need is proof that the account reconciled, just take a screenshot of the reconcile window showing Quicken balance equals Statement balance, before clicking Done.
@jklmn_win: Thanks for your explanation. I do the books for my company, and my business accounting software has reconciliation reports matching the ledger and bank statement by listing outstanding checks and deposits -- and I agree that is a requirement for business software. I just hadn't thought about it the same way for personal finance software. I don't have to pass muster with an auditor or accountant, and I've never gone to my bank for help reconciling my statement; I just need to assure myself my account is reconciled. (But I now better understand why other users find printed documentation of their reconciliation more important than I do; thanks.)
