Ok, I've recently installed quicken and open the last week or so getting year to date in line with my accounts. All accounts running balances now agree with the official account numbers. All linked transfers, etc. With stub Adjustments at the end of last year until I can get to those.
But…my Fidelity Cash Management Account, the main one used as my default cash account, has a Market Value of exactly 2x the running balance.
The Deets:
- Quicken Classic Premier for Mac, Version 8.3.1
- MacOS 26.0
Started:
Relatively recently, last few days. Not sure what exact event triggered it, but I've set up holding cash accounts for mortgages and loans to track interest, principal, fees, escrow, etc. One of these actions must have triggered it.
I've validated that the running balance is accurate from 2025-01-01 to today.
When I look at the Dashboard for Holdings I see there are two entries…the FDIC Insured Deposit (default position for the cash management account) and a Cash value that are equal. This is clearly where the duplication is coming from as it has a 50/50 allocation of Cash vs Security. However, this is simply incorrect as there is not a cash and security position but a single holding/value.
