There's two ways to do this.The first way is to deposit the cash in the brokerage Account and credit some sort of "income" Category, ("income" in quotes to indicate that it's not income for income tax purposes). The second way to do this is to deposit the cash in the brokerage Account and credit THE SAME BROKERAGE as the offset, e.g., [Name of brokerage Account] is entered in the Category field.Personally I've taken the 1st route, INCLUDING the value of the stock received. That leaves a clear marker in you Spending reports as to what went on in that year, i.e., your stock picking prowess wasn't the reason for your big gain in net worth.If you don't care to see any effect of the inheritance in your Spending reports just ADD the stock and book the cash as described in the first sentence above.
