Tracking Treasury Bills in Portfolio view - Quicken/Mac
I've seen variations on this question in the discussions, but nothing quite fits my situation. When I checked last, Quicken was not set up to sync online with Treasury Direct. So I am using Quicken/Mac to manually record my investments in treasury bills. I've used BUY (or Buy Bonds, doesn't matter) to record purchase of a T-Bill (say, a 4-week T-Bill) and SELL (or Sell Bonds) to record the T-Bill when it matures, say 4 weeks later. Paring the transactions (either BUY/SELL or Buy Bonds / Sell Bonds) should remove the T-Bill from the portfolio view, provided, of course, that the security description matches. BUT, it does not. The BUY side transaction appears to be ignored in portfolio view while the SELL side shows up as a short sale (negative cost basis / negative market value). Any ideas on how to get this to work short of chucking Quicken over and using a spreadsheet?

Hello @VJD314,
To better assist with this issue, could you please provide a bit more information? Which security description(s) are you using? Does this happen with all treasury bonds, regardless of the security description you use, or are there specific problem descriptions?
Also, you may find this Idea post interesting. If you haven't already done so, please review and add your vote if you agree!
I look forward to your response!
