Fix Schedule B report so it handles split transactions that include dividends correctly

Jim_Harman

In QWin US Premier 2019 R18.16 the Schedule B tax report produces incorrect results when a banking account has a split deposit transaction that includes dividend income. This was first reported here:
https://community.quicken.com/discussion/7853783/schedule-b-report-summary-amount-doesnt-match-the-sum-of-the-transactions-how-to-fix-issue#latest

I experimented with 3 Categories and varied the order of the split lines 
-- Div is dividend income
-- Int is interest income
-- Gift has no tax line. 

The order of the categories below is the order of the lines in the split transaction.

Div & Gift - OK
Gift & Div - Div amount shows as interest in the report

Int & Gift - OK
Gift & Int - OK

Div & Int - Total amount shows as dividend in the report
Int & Div - Total amount shows as interest in the report.

Here is a screenshot from a test file that illustrates the last test case. The transaction shows $3.33 of interest and $6.66 of dividends but the report shows the total amount as interest.


You can avoid these problems by recording the income as individual transactions rather than as a split, but it would certainly be good if the report worked correctly.

The problem occurs in the May 2019 R19.34 version too.

The problem occurs in the R19.44 version too.

This is still broken as far as I know...

This, really, isn't a "product idea", but rather a report of a bug that needs fixing.

SURELY, no one intended that with a split transaction the entire amount in the transaction would be assigned, in the Sched B report to the tax category of the 1st  line of the split.

I certainly agree that this should be treated as a bug if it is not already on the list. It is very repeatable and clearly documented here but it has been 2 years...

I agree with Jim - it is a bug that needs to be fixed. Please don't dismiss it. When I found the issue, he did extensive checking that he listed here. His example should help the programmers fix the problem.
