Budgeting and Planning Tools (Windows)
Why am I unable to see income categories in my budget?
MGMQcommunity
I have specified that they are to be included in this budget. And atone time I was even able to put data in. but how when I look at the budget I see only expense categories. I have tried creating a new budget with only income categories and they still do not display, It is as if I have opted to project and track only SPENDING.

Thank you for the additional information.
To start with, if you haven't already, I suggest you try to
Validate your data file
by following the steps below. However, I do recommend that you also
Save a backup
of your data file first before trying these steps (
just in case
).
Navigate to the
File
menu
Select
File Operations
Validate and Repair...
Select
Validate file
Click
OK
Close the
Data Log
Close Quicken (
leave it closed for at least 5 secs
)
Reopen Quicken and see if the issue persists.
You can also try to
Super validate
by holding down the
Ctrl
+
Shift
keys on your keyboard while selecting
Validate and Repair...
(
step 3
) which will give you the option to
Super validate
file
instead of
Validate file
.
Let us know how it goes!

Hello
@MGMCommunity
,
Thank you for reaching out to the Community to tell us about your issue, though I apologize that you are experiencing this.
Could you please provide which version of Quicken you have currently running?
Help > About Quicken
How long ago did you first notice this issue started? Have you tried changing the filter view settings (
i.e.: Graph vs Annual view, Monthly, Quarterly, Yearly, etc
) to see if the same issue occurs in all or specific view settings?
Please, check back and let us know! Thank you.

Thank you for reply.
I am running Quicken Home and Business Version R31.20 Build 27.1.32.1 in Windows 10. I am running Windows on a Mac using Parallels Desktop.
I am not sure when I noticed. I added the income categories to the budget in the last three months. I know that I saw the income categories at some point because I entered income data that shows when I run the budget vs. actual report.
Yes, I can confirm that this problem occurs under all view settings.
