Recording investment transactions

oceanorange26

I have set up an investment account in quicken. My problem is how do I record transactions so that the balance is correct?  For example, if I received cash from my fund what "type" of transaction should it be when I record it in quicken.  On my statement the total was broken down into how much went to state tax, federal tax, and how much came to me. The statement also detailed the share price, how many shares, and total cost which is what I want to capture in quicken.  I chose sell but that added to the balance instead of taking away.  Any and all help is very much appreciated.

Hello oceanorange26. Appreciate your question.

If you are adding cash or anything besides stock options, using "Payment/Deposit" will allow you to do so. This allows you to add cash to your investment account so that you can reinvest:
