I sold some ESPP shares a while ago and entered the transaction using the transaction "Sold ESPP Shares". At the time, I did not notice that the MiscInc (Ordinary Income from sale of ESPP) got added twice to the Cash Balance. Later, when reconciling this transaction with my statement, I noticed and found this problem had happened in Quicken. The statement showed a lower cash balance that Quicken showed.
Details of what I see in my Quicken register for this account:
The first time the ordinary income was added in my register was on the line that shows the action "Sold" where it includes the # of ESPP shares sold at a given price. The second time it was added was with the next line in my register that shows the action "MiscInc" (where the amount was identical to the Quicken cash balance overage not shown in the statement I received).
I have sold other ESPP shares this same year and the split between the Sold cash amount and the MiscInc amount come out correctly.
At the end of the year, I use the MiscInc information in Quicken to check my employer W-2 amount for the same. Any ideas on why this happened and the easiest/best way to fix it?
