As title advises check your Schwab downloads carefully with the Schwab info. Many of the downloads are miscatorizied by Quicken, A number of transactions came in as deposits and should have been cash dividends

Having the same issues with Schwab mis categorizing downloads. Each download requires manual updates to each transaction to get them corrected. Additionally, I need to run a one step update two or sometimes three times to get both bank and investment transactions downloaded.

I would suggest that you reconcile all of your Quicken balances to Schwab (i.e. amounts paid, transaction type, number of shares, etc) after every download of transactions (and related corrections) to make sure that your Quicken balances reconcile to the Schwab balances.

I had the same issue. It appears to want to classify any income other than a dividend (LTCG, STCG, etc.) as Return of Capital. This is mostly a problem with mutual funds which make distributions this time of year.
