Does Quicken have something analogous to Quickbooks' classes? Perhaps "sub"-expense & income types?

You can have sub-categories for both Income and for Expense items in  Q.

There are also TAGS, which are more similar to QB's "classes".  In fact,  "tags" were previously, in Q, called "classes".

You can NOT, however, have sub-accounts for Asset or Liability items.

And, BTW, you can't convert your data from QB to Q, except manually.  Q can't read a QB data file.

SO, if you're considering this switch, I'd advise that you get Q and start setting up your Accounts and Categoires in it.  Then,  close out the year in  QB and start the new year in Quicken.

Thank you. Especially about the tags. I used Quicken 30 years ago and could have sworn there were classes.
Are "sub" tags possible?

NotACPA

There's no such thing as sub-tags ... but you CAN have multiple tags on the same item.

stuso

Thank you. That answers my questions.

There used to be sub-classes but when Quicken replaced the classes paradigm with tags, they eliminated sub-classes. That said, you can emulate subclasses by creating 'tags' and 'tags.subtags', e.g. taxes, taxes.federal, taxes.provincial, taxes.state, etc.
