Capital Gain or Loss from one report missing from another report

wdhjr1

The total of capital losses that was reported in the income statement disagreed with the total of gains/losses in the report of "Taxable ST/LT Capital Gains/Losses". I tracked it down to two sales of one security in one day and retraced that security's data before and after the sales transactions. and rechecked (twice) my entries of those two sales transactions. I can't find out why those two sales do not appear on the Taxable ST/LT Cap G/L report, while very many other sales on that same day correctly appear. What have I done wrong? Can you help? Walt Hope

@wdhjr1 verify that "Tax Free" isn't checked in Security Details. Otherwise check if the security is in an invesment account that is set with Tax deferred = Yes.

Edit - sorry I think I misread your post. If it is just two sales and other sales for that security show properly, then I would try to run an investment transaction report for actions Sold and SoldX and see if they show up there. If they do, then there is some filtering mechanism in the Gain/Loss report that is preventing the sales from showing. Or, it could be an issue with placeholder transactions, that is preventing these two sales from being reported.

@Sceptic the "Tax free" setting for a security only affects income, not capital gains and losses, so that should not be the issue.

From the names of the reports, it sounds like you customized and saved them. Click on the gear at the top right of each report and check the Accounts and Securities tabs to make sure the correct accounts and the problem security are included.

If that does not explain the issue, try re-creating the reports by going to the built in report at Reports > Investing > Capital Gains and customizing that and the one you have named "Income Statement" to include all securities and just your taxable accounts.

Please let us know what you find.

Jim, you are right. I misread the OP's issue that is was an issue with all sales. That was my first problem. Then yes I sould have said check "Security Type" rather than the tax free setting. My bad.

Thank you all for your replies. Reran report for all account just to remove the issue of taxable vs non-taxable accounts; same result of those two sales of one security missing. Report settings were and are all accounts, all securities, all security types, all investing goals, and include all transfers. Very strange. Never happened before in my years of using Quicken. Any advice will be appreciated. Walt Hope

Did you run the built in reports from the Reports menu rather than saved reports? Sometimes saved reports don't work right after Quicken version updates.

Another think you might try if you have not already is Validating and super validating the file. Back up your data file first, just in case something goes wrong. To super validate, hold down Ctrl and Shift while selecting File > Validate and repair file.

One more thing to try would be to delete and re-enter the problem Sold transactions.

Again, please let us know what you find.

Thanks. Since it seemed the easiest of the suggestions, I deleted and reentered the 2 questionable sales transactions. That didn't work.

Then I tried deleting the saved report, and rebuilding it. That DID work. those sales transactions are now included in all appropriate reports!!! Many thanks to Jim Harmon. Walt Hope
