Usually deposit stock sale checks when received from brokerage account in a day or two as a "SellX,' but this time the check came on mid-December and I didn't get to deposit it until January 10th. I would prefer to show the stock return in 2016, and move it to my checking on the 10th.
Just st up another cash account to run it though. Call it Undeposited Checks. Then when you do deposit it you make the bank account deposit a Transfer to the new account to clear it out.
This will work! Thanks for the advice. The first time I wanted to deposit into another year.
