Tracking Treasury Bill Discrepancies in Quicken

qckenguy

I'm using Quicken Classic Deluxe Mac version 8.0.1 . I am using a brokerage to purchase 4 week treasury bills - that automatically reinvest.

Several months ago - I set this up fresh in quicken. And the auto updates would properly Match the totals in my Schwab Account on the web.

Recently, that stopped happening and now my quicken totals are higher than what Schwab shows. It's hard for me to track what is happening, however it seems as though there is a discrepancy between the newer purchased treasury bills - and the recent redemptions.

Q: does anyone have an idea how to properly track the difference and find out what is happening and why?

I am reluctant - to remove the online access and re-create it - and I'm curious if this process is OK to do? - This account has items going back several years that I believe will not come over with a new online access - but unsure how to do this properly. I prefer to keep my old history and just replace / update the new items.

What is the best way to do this?

Any suggestions are welcome.
Thanks Dave

Is your Schwab account in QMac set up as "detailed" or "simple" tracking? It must be "detailed" to sort out what's happening. Typically the matured bill will be at face value / par and the new one will be at a discount… so your cash balance should keep increasing. Schwab does not report the interest properly on T-bills. We can talk about that after your current issue is sorted out.

If it becomes necessary to removed online access in QMac and re-establish it, it has no impact on existing transactions in your desktop data file.
