I receive two pensions and the form that Quicken provides does not distribute the individual amounts e.g., taxes, deductions, etc. to the proper categories for year end reports. For example. SS, the total amount is not what should be recorded as income, only the "W2 Gross amount."

    Pensions and social security for that matter aren't paychecks.  One can try to cram them into the paycheck reminder, but it is easier just to use a split transaction.

    Try splitting that deposit to reflect the categories as you need them.
    Total Amount would be a positive number, with negative numbers for the other lines to bring the net amount down to what's actually received.
