How to add a U.S. Treasury Note to an existing brokerage account so that it updates daily.

BostonBud

I'm using Quicken Classic Deluxe for Windows, version 69.53.

I recently purchased four U.S. Treasury Notes (e.g. on 9/29/2026, 240 shares of 91282CHZ7 at 98.44 with a maturity date of 9/30/2030 and 4.625% interest). These four U.S. Treasury Notes are part of my Merrill Lynch IRA account. Since the purchase, I've received interest payments (e.g. $555 for the account I mentioned above). I update Quicken daily using One Step Update. The price of 91282CHZ7 seems to change daily. Also on the ML website, the holdings for the IRA account show an Accrued Interest, which is included in ML's Value column for that security.

Right after the purchase, the One Step Update merged all four U.S. Treasury Notes into one transaction and treats the four T Notes as though they were one security. Obviously, that doesn't update properly.

Question: How can I add U.S. Treasury Notes into Quicken so that they reflect the daily updates from Merrill Lynch?

Many Thanks for checking this.

@BostonBud It sounds like Quicken may not be receiving the individual Treasury Note identifiers correctly from Merrill Lynch.

Normally, each Treasury Note should be a separate security because each one has its own CUSIP, maturity date, and coupon rate. For example, CUSIP 91282CHZ7 should not be merged with another Treasury security that has a different CUSIP.

A couple of questions:

• Do all four Treasury Notes have different CUSIPs?
• When you look at Tools → Security List, do you see four separate securities or only one Treasury security?
• Are the downloaded transactions referencing a generic Treasury security rather than the individual CUSIPs?

There have been recent reports from Merrill Lynch users where Treasury purchases were downloaded with incomplete security identification information, causing Quicken to treat multiple Treasury securities incorrectly.

If the transactions have already been merged into a single security, the likely solution is to create or correct the individual Treasury securities in Quicken and then edit the transactions, so each note is tied to the proper CUSIP. However, if Merrill is continuing to send incomplete security information, the issue will likely recur until the download data is corrected.

Also note that the Accrued Interest shown on the Merrill website is often not reflected the same way in Quicken. Quicken's market value is generally based on the security position and price data it receives, which may not exactly match Merrill's displayed value if Merrill includes accrued interest in that figure.
