Hidden Gems

By Janean Comfort

Welcome to this edition of the Quicken Community Newsletter! We’re excited to spotlight some lesser-known features introduced to Quicken for Windows and Mac over the past year—quality-of-life improvements you might have missed in the release notes. Let’s dive in!

Windows

Tax‑Loss Harvesting Report (R62 – April 2025)

A hidden gem for smarter investing: the new Tax Loss Harvesting report (Premier & above) displays unrealized losses by individual lots. The kind of detail savvy investors appreciate. To find this report:

  1. Open Quicken.
  2. Go to the Investing tab.
  3. Click Reports from the top menu bar.
  4. Navigate to:
    All Reports > Tax 
  5. Select Tax Loss Harvesting report

Show Cents in Reports (R62 – April 2025)

Also in R62: a new preference lets you toggle cents on/off in any report, giving you a cleaner view when you need it. Available in all editions.

Show or Hide Hidden Accounts Anywhere (R58 – July 2024)

A small but powerful tweak: now you can show or hide hidden accounts across various dialogs including: register views, transfer dialogs, and reports. This gives you better control over what you see and keeps dashboards clutter-free. (Available in all editions (Deluxe, Premier, Home & Business, etc.)

Mac

Enhanced Projected Balance Graphs

Visualizing your financial future has become more flexible. The Projected Balance graph now offers improved inspection and date range selection, along with a new “Y-axis starts at zero” option. These enhancements provide a clearer picture of your projected finances.

Zillow Integration for Real Estate Valuation

Stay updated on your property's market value with the new Zillow integration. This feature automatically updates your real estate account with the latest estimated market values, ensuring your net worth calculations are current.

Visit this FAQ for steps on how to add your real estate account and to see the value.

Capital Gain Estimator Enhancements

Planning investment sales is more precise with the improved Capital Gain Estimator. You can now filter securities by specific accounts, update the sell price of lots, and display securities by symbol or name, aiding in tax planning and investment decisions. Available in Premier and above.

·  Note: The Capital Gain Estimator itself is only in Premier and up.

To find the Capital Gain Estimator Tool:

  1. Open Quicken for Mac and navigate to your Brokerage Account or the overall Investing section.
  2. In the toolbar at the top-right of the investing view, click Investing Tools.
  3. From the dropdown menu, select Capital Gains Estimator.

These subtle but effective enhancements can seriously streamline your financial workflow. Give them a try and share your experience in the Community. Your feedback helps shape the next update!

    The Windows Tax Loss Harvesting report looks very convenient, but for me it only shows tax lots with losses. That is probably the intent; you should modify the quoted text.
