Cash Management Accounts are really a Banking Account (Quicken Windows), right?

My CMA accounts are really checking accounts, yet the have the same constraints as Investing accounts. So there are a number of features that aren't available in CMA accounts that would be nice: 1) filtering on a variety of fields; 2) tags!!!; 3) ability to show categories and tag columns in the transaction list; 4) ability for reports to treat CMAs with the same features as for banking accounts.

Your brokerage firm, which holds the CMA, isn't a bank … and thus by law can't issue a true checking account.

So, NO, they're not banking accounts although for most purposes that act like one. The differences are VERY technical, and very legalistic … but I no longer remember exactly what they are.

BUT, if in a non-retirement account you do TOOLS, Account List and click EDIT adjacent to the brokerage account you'll have an option to select "Show Cash in a checking account". First take a backup before you do this, but if you select that Q will create a pseudo-checking account an move all of the cash transactions from your brokerage account to this new pseudo-account.
