specific lot selection for stock sells

deathrs

I am having a problem with the accuracy of the screen where you specify what stock lot you are selling shares. Here is my story..

I was comparing my Quicken Capital gains report to that of my Broker and while there are always some differences. I decided to look at a specific stock in a specific account at fidelity. The differences stemmed from the fact that my broker's information on selected lots was different than what was in Quicken lot history. Since I manually select which lot for Quicken to use when I reconcile with my brokers sell transaction, they should match. When they don't, that of course creates the difference between the two capital gains reports.

Here is an example of what I found.

I purchased 5.31 shares 8/6/24. Everything matched up correctly. Broker transaction report and holding report matched Quicken transaction report and holding report.

the next transaction date was 1/3/25 of 2.51 shares of the security. Again, all reports agreed. when I looked at the specify lot screen, the previous buy of the 5.31 shares was listed as available. The sale of the 2.51 shares was from another lot, so it didn't affect the 8/6/24 lot. So, all is good at this point.

The next transaction was 3/11/25, a sell of 5.31 shares from the lot dated 8/6/24. All the transaction reports agree and reflect the sell correctly. Now the problem, when I look at the specify lot screen. the 5.31 shares that were available previously, now only reflect 2.8 shares available. In addition, it reflects 2 shares available for lot 7/5/22 and .51 shares available for lot 6/14/22. those were not present in prior screens. So for some reason, Quicken has split the 5.31 shares of lot 8/6/24 into three lots, with no transactions to support it.

I have started back from the beginning and checked every transaction. I have done the validate file and rebuild lot file with no impact or change. I have deleted and reentered the 8/6/24 buy transaction for 5.31 shares with no change. It apparently is something that happened between 1/3/25 and 3/11/25. even though there is no activity reflected on the transaction reports.

In the scheme of things, this is a relatively minor issue, as I would use tax forms from my broker. I just wondering if anyone has a solution or suggestions.

Thank you
