How to create a report to summarize income from zero coupon Treasury bills

I have a monthly income report for dividends and regular interest. It's not capturing the return on my 3- and 6-month zero coupon T-bills.
Can someone show me a report that will summarize monthly or quarterly the income for redeemed bonds as well as the as-yet unpaid interest on bond that haven't matured (expressed as difference between purchase price and current market price)?
I can get close to that with an investment report but that doesn't show the market value for the T-bill that haven't matured.

T Bills and zero coupons are not dealt with specifically/correctly by Quicken.
- Yet to be paid interest is irrelevant because interest and dividends are not taxable until received. Furthermore, you don't know what the interest is until either (a) you sell the T Bill, or (b) it is redeemed.
- If the T Bill is redeemed at maturity or sold before maturity, make sure the transaction is booked as a "Sell Bonds" (also make sure original purchase was booked as a "Buy Bonds").
- Finally, once the T Bill is either sold or redeemed and booked correctly in Quicken, it will appear on Quicken Reports → Tax → Schedule D - Capital Gains and Losses.
Hope this helps
