Quicken Reports - Stocks Purchased and Sold

Barbara Allen

Hello, I haven't been able to locate a way to bring up a report on an individual stock as in buy and sell information so that I can print it out for my taxes.
Thank you.

@Frankx  You're providing answers based on Quicken Windows, but this is showing as a Quicken Mac question.

@Barbara Allen What Frankx wrote is directionally correct, but the locations and labels are a little different in Quicken Mac. There is no Investing tab or Tools menu. 

To see the transaction history for a selected security, click in the left sidebar on the account that holds the security, or if more than one, the account group (like "Brokerage" or "Retirement"), or simply Investing to encompass all investment accounts. The Portfolio tab allows you to see your holdings and their performance in various groupings, but to see the transaction history for a Security, you'll want to click on the Transactions tab.

Now there are two ways to see everything for a specific security. You can simply click on the Security/Payee column heading to sort all the transactions by Security in alphabetical order; scroll to the security you're looking for and you'll see all the transactions. That's sometimes useful if you just want a quick look at something, but you may have to scroll past a lot of unrelated transactions, so instead…

Type all or part of the Security name in the Search box in the upper right. This will limit the register to showing only the transactions for that security. (You can also change the Date filter from All Dates to a range you want if it's a security you've held a long time and you want to zero in on a certain time range.) You can now print the transaction register if you need a report on this security.

Hi @Barbara Allen,

Go to > "Reports" > "Tax" > "Schedule D - Capital Gains and Losses"

Make sure the "tax Year" is correctly set. Hit the "Printer" icon.

That should do it!

Hi Frankx, Thanks for your information. I did find the information but interestingly it was only partially complete with the recent sell info but not the buy date info although that is in my records. In my "old" Quicken I could put in the name of a stock and get the buy info and all the dividends and if sold that info. Is there any way to do that?

Hi again @Barbara Allen,

There are a couple of ways you can get that information in Quicken.

One way is to use the Portfolio View in the Investing Tab, as follows:

1) Click on the "Investing Tab",
2) Click on "Portfolio" in the top left of the page,
3) In the Fields , just below "Portfolio" - Select "Group by:" and choose: "Security"
4) The list of securities should now be in alphabetical order (if not, just click on the little arrow in the "Name" box),
5) Click on whatever security you want the information on and a new window will open.  At the top you will see "Transaction History" which will display all transactions involving that security over time, starting with your first buy and going to the current date.  It will include dividends (even if not reinvested) stock splits, etc.

A quicker way to get to the same place is:

1) Select "Tools" > "Security List"
2) Click on whatever security you want the information on and a new window will open.  You'll see the exact information that I mention in step 5) above.

Let me know if you have any followup questions.

Thank you Jacobs. Your information did the trick. I appreciate Frankx response but I was still having difficulties and now understand why.
