Covering Short Puts

I've had trouble in the past getting short puts to close out. Now I use ShrSell to open and CvrShrt and to close the position. That had been working. Shares are closed out. However, my cash balance is now off by the exact amount that I sold the puts for. (The gain on the trade.) I switched to Schwab when they merged with TD Ameritrade. Since then it seems that Schwab doesn't work as well with the transaction downloads to Quicken.

Any suggestions on how to fix this cash discrepancy?
