When will Quicken Mac have Paycheck Support? (including Windows file conversion)

Question

I've just tried out Q/Mac 5.16.1 and do not see Paycheck support. I really like this support and I'm curious when this is coming to the Mac.

Also, when I tried to convert my existing Windows file, I see that the splits are correct for some old paycheck transactions, but not all. Some just had a single line item for the net.

I'm in the camp of folks who want to convert to Quicken Mac, are still running Quicken Windows in a virtual machine, and are worried about Apple ending their virtual Windows support in 2-3 years. We really want more feature parity and conversion support before then.

Thanks for all the hard work!

I can't comment on/don't know about future features, but the paycheck wizard did nothing more than create a split under the covers. (You can easily do this yourself.)

Knowing this, I would simply setup a scheduled split transaction for your paycheck. This is what I have always done-even when Quicken for Mac did have that paycheck support. Why? It allowed me to tailor the split to my paycheck versus going through a whole setup/entry mode that didn't necessarily apply to me.

As far as the splits not coming over form the in the conversion-that is a different matter. I don't know your source data. But, it really should be a split that came over. There may be other reasons for your hardships.

But, do consider manually creating the split. It isn't hard at all.
