Retirement savings transfers

Question

I am trying to track my retirement fund transfers in Quicken.

When I transfer money to my checking it does not show up as income or deduct from IRA.  I tried to create a retirement withdrawal account and then transfer to checking.  No go.

Bottom line I have budgeted a $ amount as income from my retirement and want to show as income and as a deduction in retirement account.  How can I do this?

Go to the Planning > Budgets page. Click on Manage Budget Categories then select Transfers In and check the box next to the name of your IRA account. Then transfers from the IRA should show up as income in your budget.
