splitting transaction

lise

I download my bank transactions into quicken for Mac 2020
can Quicken automatically split the amount to separate GST and PST (Canadian sales taxes ) from the total amount ?

Hi, Lise:

No, you won't be able to setup Quicken for Mac to download transactions, convert them to splits, and calculate the various GST/HST/PST taxes.

You will have to manually split/enter those if you wish to track. Renaming rules can remember the splits for respective payees, but the program isn't setup to calculate the tax.

This might make a good feature request because, if I recall correctly, the CRA requires our friends up North to track those taxes more closely than equivalent ones in the US.

There was an idea thread for this feature but after over 3 years of little support it was archived only 2 months ago.

Anyway, there would be no easy way for Quicken to know when to apply the tax splitting and when not to for downloaded transactions.

The closest you might get is for you to add your VOTE for QuickMath functionality.
