With the latest release, quicken added hidden transactions in a non-connected (e.g. no download) ESPP account. I was tracking the ESPP share balance manually for years. Two new hidden transactions showed up: one removed the ESPP shares even though they were not sold and the other added the shares under a different ticker symbol. To get back to where I was, I simply want to delete these two hidden transactions. However, when I do the either transactions, quicken reports an error stating "You cannot edit and ESPP sold or MiscInc transaction in order to preserve the tax calculations. To make a change, delete the sold transaction."
There is no sold transaction to speak of! Anyone encounter this issue? Help please.
I'm pretty certain I could start from scratch with a new account, but I have over 10 years of manually entered data on this account that I don't want to lose. And, I don't have an easy way of connecting the ESPP account as the same provider also services a brokerage account and the account numbers are the same. Hence the need to manually track in the first place.
