On Windows 11: Capital Gains Report question [edited title]

Berbones

I'm using Quicken Premier version R589

In my reports for capital gains most, but not all, of my sale transactions are shown there. I have verified the security is included in the settings section, but it doesn’t show on the report.

I don’t understand why some securities are not included. What’s up?

Tom Young

Could it be that some of the transactions are being recorded in tax-deferred Accounts? That report ignores these Accounts, knowing that capital gains and losses in those Accounts aren't reported. If you want to see them you could customize the report to include those other Accounts.

Berbones

Thanks for responding.

Your answer doesn't seem to address the problem. Whether the capital gain is tax-deferred or not it is still a capital gain or loss and would/should be reflected as such along with several other equities of like sales.

The only possible difference I see is that this particular stock (CRH plc) is designated as "plc". Would that exclude it from revealing the sale results? I don't see how that should make a difference.

I appreciate your help with this matter.

"Your answer doesn't seem to address the problem. Whether the capital gain is tax-deferred or not it is still a capital gain or loss and would/should be reflected as such along with several other equities of like sales."

Your statement "my reports for capital gains" didn't mention exactly what report you're using, but since there's a specific "Capital Gains" report and that's the report commonly used for reporting capital gains, I provided a possible exploitation for what you're seeing.

If you're reporting capital gains using all your investment Accounts to feed a report and the problem is that one specific security that should be included in the report isn't included, then one possible answer in that case is that the missing security hasn't been selected to be included under the "Securities" tab on the Customization screen.

I'm not exactly sure what you're referring to with the statement "(CRH plc) is designated as "'plc.'" Where is that designation? The ticker symbol for CRH plc is "CRH" but if for some reason the security's ticker symbol in Quicken is "plc" I wouldn't think that would omit the security from capital gains reports if that symbol has been consistently used for all transactions.

Berbones

Thanks for your continued help.

"CRH plc" is designated as such on the Schwab website, the Yahoo website and even in Quicken, so I can reasonably assume it is an acceptable designation. The "plc" suffix is a Public Limited Company.

The report I'm using is indeed the Quicken Standard Reports, Capital Gains. I have confirmed the stock is specified and checked in the Securities tab. But here's the odd thing. I went into settings/securities and cleared everything listed and then checked only CRH, then correcctly clicked OK, but the stock does not show on the report. Apparently Quicken doesn't like this stock.

I don't know where else to go with this.

Please do TOOLS, Security List. What is shown in ALL columns to the right of CRH?

You checked that the security is included in the Security tab selection. Did you check that the account is included in the Account tab selection? Generally, tax-deferred accounts are omitted (not selected, not pre-selected) from Capital Gains reports. Did this sale transaction take place in a taxable account or a tax-deferred account? (This is what @Tom Young was asking about that you did not seem to understand.)

Berbones

Thanks for picking up.

Yes, the account is included in the Account tab. And yes,, it did take place in a tax-deferred account. But I have several other transactions in that same IRA that are correctly listed. Only this one particular stock is elusive I thought I understood Tom's question unless I'm way off base. If CRH is excluded because it's tax-deferred then all the others should be excluded as well. But they are not.

I'm new to this community and not sure how these threads work but I see that my earlier messages are included in your response. So in answer to notACPA suggestion,, looking at TOOLS/Security list, everything to the right of CRH is TYPE, ASSET CLASS, DOWNLOAD QUICKEN, WATCH LIST and HIDE. The HIDE is not checked but the other are.

The only other likely disqualifier keeping a transactions out of the Cap Gains report would be timing. Is the sale transaction actually in the defined time frame for the report?

I suppose the other customization tabs (Security Type and Investing Goals) are also possible issues though I would not expect them to be an issue. There are also the matching filters on the Securities tab ("Security contains" and (Memo contains").

Berbones

Yes, the transaction is well within the defined time frame. I had triple-checked that already.

I did search with the matching filters to no avail.

I'll just manage without it. Thanks for your help.

There must be something on that sale that's wrong. I would go to the sale transaction and maybe delete it and re-enter it. That may clear something out. Can you post a screen shot of the sale transaction?

Berbones

I can give that a try but there are three transactions on different days and not one shows up.

I'll try to delete and re-enter to see if that changes anything.

Thanks
