CD is held in investment account. CD has a maturity date assigned. The maturity date shows up in the report "Maturity Dates for Bonds and CDs" So far so good.

The CD pays interest which is accrued not withdrawn. In the account register the interest is used to buy more shares of the CD security. The problem is that this shows up as a separate line in the Maturity report. The report shows multiple instances of the CD. Can you get the software report to recognize this as a single CD?

    @rbuec88 the CD Maturity Report is for brokered CDs. Interest for brokered CDs are paid in cash only, never reinvested. Brokered CDs have a CUSIP and set up as a security on Quicken and held in an investment account.

    It sounds like maybe you have a bank CD that you are trying treat as an investment? Bank CDs are issued by your bank and are treated as savings accounts. On Quicken, you would set up a bank CD as a savings account and post interest like any other savings account.
