Fidelity Reauthorization Fails on One Account of Many

Scout_998

I, like many of you, put off the "reauthorization" with Fidelity, then finally bit the bullet. Now I have it working on most of my accounts.

However, I have one Roth Rollover account that refuses to update? I see it in the Fidelity screen where it lists all the accounts and I have checked it to reauthorize. However, when I complete the process and don't add the accounts to Quicken so I don't duplicate them but map them to their existing accounts, this one account doesn't establish updates.

When I looked at the Account List, this Roth Rollover showed as Direct Connect with no updates recently. I have tried to only update the one account, but that shuts down all the other accounts with Fidelity and still doesn't work to turn on the Roth Rollover account for downloads.

After that, I deactivated the Roth Rollover account and tried to initiate downloads. I went through the process, and it wants the reauthorization on ALL Fidelity accounts, not just this one, and I still get the same results - all my other accounts update and this Roth Rollover doesn't. It still shows that it is deactivated.

Any ideas how to fix this?

Hello @Scout_998,

Thank you for letting us know you're encountering this issue. Since the account still shows as Direct Connect when you check the account list, that makes me suspect that the account may be getting linked to the wrong account in Quicken. That would explain why it would seem to work on the Add/Link screen, but then still show connected by Direct Connect when you check the Account List. To check for this, please navigate to Tools>Account List. If you see the Show hidden accounts option near the lower left, please select it.

Review the account list for any extra or duplicate Fidelity accounts. Also check for any accounts which should not be connected, but are suddenly showing connected to Fidelity. You will be able to tell if Quicken thinks an account is connected by looking at the Transaction Download column.

If you find any accounts like that, then backup your Quicken and deactivate those accounts. Once that is done, deactivate the problem account, navigate to Tools>Add Account, and follow the prompts. When you get to the Add/Link screen, carefully link all the Fidelity accounts to the correct nickname in Quicken.

Please let me know how it goes!
