Capital Gains Estimator: Detailed Calculations Doesn't Seem Work as expected

AMP

I'm working with Quicken Premier Win R45.21 in the Capital Gains Estimator.
I've proposed sale of specific lots in step 1 and 2. The gain/loss is displayed in the section entitled, "Total Gross Proceeds from Proposed Sales". But I don't quite understand the next section: Detailed calculations. I expect this section would show "Capital Gains Tax Before Proposed Sales" for all transactions year to date. But this section is blank.
I must be missing something very basic.
Help please.

Hello @AMP,  

I am sorry to hear about this problem with the screen in the Capital Gains Estimator. Thank you for speaking with us about this here on the Quicken Community.

I look forward to your response.

I suggest visiting the Tax Planner module first.  Make sure it is set for the current information. 

Then go to the CG Estimator.  At that point, it should show your YTD info in the Before portion.

Is the CG Estimator only in Premier?

To access the Capital Gains Estimator in Premier, go to View > Classic menus then on the Planning menu (not the tab) select Capital Gains Estimator. I don't think there is any way to access it from the Standard menus or the tabs.

Is that option not available in Deluxe?

You can also find the Capital Gains Estimator by going to the Investing tab and selecting Tools.
As I remember it from years ago, the Deluxe edition did have it.

Yup -- Invest tab --> Tools (pulldown menu on the top right) - done - new play time - Deluxe R44.28
