My Comcast Stock account no longer allows MiscIncX

Question

In January 2025, my COMCAST Stock account allowed the MiscIncX action to remove expenses associated with the quarterly dividend.  This action is not available for the August dividend or later.

Any Suggestions?

I am using the Windows version of Quicken that has been kept up to date.

The COMCAST stock is in its own account and is manually updated when I receive each quarterly statement.

The options associated with Misc Exp require an account to transfer the money to.

For my stock (vs MF) dividends, I use the Misc Inc process as outlined above.  This is so I can assign the _QualDivInc category as needed to distinguish stock divs from MF divs.

Hi @Courtenay,

Thanks for taking the time to contact the Quicken Community!

I recommend entering the transaction using the Inc - Income (Div, Int, etc.) option. To do this:

* Open the account in question.
* Click Enter Transactions.
* From the dropdown menu, select Inc - Income (Div, Int, etc.).

* Choose the account the money is coming from.
* Select the security name.
* Enter the amount in the Miscellaneous field.

* Click Enter/Done.
* The MiscIncX will show in the Action field.

I hope this information helps!
