Placeholder

aLfGordon

Due to the Fidelity update issues, I was given a "Placeholder" for the Fidelity Government Money Market. It is small, $41.44, but annoying as it has given Quicken the missing data * in many places. I'm sure this was the result of the switchover in update. How can I remedy this and get rid of the placeholder?

Hello @aLfGordon,

Thank you for reaching out. Is this Money Market fund tracked as cash in your Quicken, or is it tracked as a security? Did you already try deleting the placeholder, or does that cause other issues? For more information on placeholders, please see this article: https://info.quicken.com/win/about-placeholder-entries

I look forward to your response!

In my security section and that specific account it shows "CASH". However the placeholder shows -$41.44 from Fidelity Government Money Market Fund. I believe way in the past I used to have money markets as a security, but its been 15-20 years. As a side to this, my holdings and actual dollar value show exactly what is in Fidelity (securities and cash). I went into the History of the placeholder and it shows a dividend that was received in the account back in 2020. I looked and it was a dividend received on that date and was reconciled.
