Net Worth Report became corrupted some time after 2/10/25

LindaJane

Report for 2025 was correct for all investments. Report printed 2/10/26 was correct. When reprinted on 2/25/26 one investment was incorrect . An item categorized as Unrealized Gain/Loss was added as of 12/31/25. The loss affected the end of year value as if it had been realized. two problems…the amount of loss is unsubstantiated and the inclusion of the category affects all prior Net Worth reports if reprinted.

The problem must have come from an update.

I was on line with Support for almost 2.5 hours with no resolution. Ticket #12256408. I was told the category would always be there and I would have an invalid report.

Apparently I am the first to question this but surely can't be the only one affected.

any ideas?

Edit: sorry, this applies to QWin, not Mac.

I'm not sure if this is your issue, but you can control whether the Net Worth report includes unrealized gains.

Click on the gear to customize the report and the setting is on the Advanced tab. This will affect all the securities in the report. By default this should be selected for the Net Worth report.

@LindaJane I got confused reading your post, so help me to understand…

And of 2/10/26, everything was fine, correct? Were you running the current (8.4.2) version of Quicken?

Then on 2/25/26, when reprinting the Net Worth report, one account was off, and a new transaction has been added to this account back-dated to 12/31/25?

The problem must have come from an update.

There was no update to the program between 2/10 and 2/24. Did you install the just-released (today, 2/25) version 8.5.0? Is that the update you're referring to?

Can you share a screen shot of the mystery transaction? Are you seeing the Unrealized Gain/Loss in the transaction register, or on a report?

Investment transactions have a Type, not a Category, but Quicken may assign a Category in a report based on the Type. I'm wondering if this report is a drill-down on one account in the Net Worth report? That's where one often sees Unrealized Gain/Loss on the day of the report, because Quicken has to reconcile all the Buy and Sell transactions to date (which add to the Cost/Basis) to the Market Value as of the report date (Unrealized Gains/Losses as of that date.)

When I run a Net Worth Report for a prior year ending (say 12/31/24) in both 8.4.2 and the new 8.5, I'm not seeing a discrepancy introduced by the new version… but perhaps you've come across something new that hasn't been identified yet.

@Jim_Harman In Quicken Mac, there is no Advanced tab available on the Net Worth report, and that report always report on account (market) values; there is no way I'm aware of the generate a Net Worth report in Quicken Mac based on just Cost/Basis rather than Market Value. (However, the just-released version 8.5 adds a new Portfolio Value & Cost Basis report which makes it possible to report on the Cost Basis as of any date.)
