Today we're releasing Quicken for Mac 2019 v5.8.1.
The year has changed but it's basically the same product as 2018. Since everyone is a subscriber now there is no need to download and install a new version of Quicken.
This release has a number of fixes. I think many of you will recognize these as issues you brought to our attention in the last releases forum port. Thanks.
One of the things that isn't necessarily related to our 5.8.1 release but I wanted to highlight is our new Quicken website where you can see your Quicken data. It's still a public beta for another week or so but you can try it out. https://app.quicken.com. Just remember you have to turn on Sync in Quicken's preferences and sign in using your Quicken ID. This is NOT a replacement for the Quicken desktop products. Think of it more as a companion site that you can use to change categories or review your transactions when you're away from home. I think it's pretty cool.
As always, please let us know if you run into any issues. Please write 5.8.1 issues as comments in this forum post.
Here are the release notes...

Here are the release notes...
5.8.1 Improvements - New Quicken Web
- NEW - Added a new menu item under Help to access Quicken on the Web. Enter transactions, assign categories, view spending, track budgets and more from anywhere now using Quicken Web. Check it out at https://app.quicken.com. Sign in using your Quicken ID.
- IMPROVED - Improved the performance of exporting or copying a report. Removed the 5000 transaction limit.
- FIXED - Fixed an issue where the net worth over time report and calendar view misreported the market value of option trades in an investment account. Thanks to RichC who brought this to our attention and helped us track down the issue.
- FIXED - Fixed an issue where reports copied to the clipboard wouldn't paste into Apple Numbers correctly.
- FIXED - Fixed an issue where newly added columns were removed after customizing a report.
- FIXED - Fixed an issue where sometimes a date change in the customize report dialog didn't stick.
- FIXED - Fixed an issue where quotes for bonds or any other security downloaded only with investment transactions weren't getting stored properly in price history.
- FIXED - Fixed a number of sync issues with the reviewed flag, balance adjustments, and transfers.
- FIXED - Fixed an issue where Quicken would try to connect to the Quicken Cloud at launch sometimes requiring a sign-in.
- FIXED - Fixed an issue where Quicken would try to connect to the Quicken Cloud when importing a web connect file. Don't do this if the customer has the auto-categorization preference turned off and they don't have any Quicken Connect accounts. Thanks to MarkJ for bringing this to our attention.
- FIXED - Fixed an issue where the preference for the number of files automatically backed-up was ignored.
- FIXED - Fixed a couple of issues with wallet checks. First, fixed an issue where only the first 2 lines of an address printed. Second, fixed an issue in the bold text feature where the written dollar amount wasn't bolded.
10-4: Released 5.8.1 to all customers.

Any other key would do of course, as long as it's easy to type and remember.
Will be interesting to see how Qm records the close call transactions down the road
I would try restoring from the previous (Pre-Update) backup in which was made prior to the update to 5.8.1.
Go to File > Restore from Backup and choose the Automatic Backups folder and there should be a Pre-Update backup from today's date.
This should restore your current data and should show the proper numbers.
Hope this helps.

Any thoughts on why this might be?
I would click on the Quicken Menu, choose Preferences, and then choose Mobile, Web and Alerts. Look at the Accounts tab and see if your USAA account is setup to download to the mobile or web app:
Make sure that your account has a checkmark in the Sync menu.
Hope this helps.

was NOT fixed in 5.8.1
If the scheduled transaction can't be shown, I don't think Quicken will pop-up the register window for that transaction. Let me know if this is not the issue.
I also noticed that in Bills & Income / Bills tab (which behaves more like a list than a report), there are different time frame options for viewing upcoming bills, including "Next one due" and "Next 6 months" and "Next 1 year", but not "Next 90 days".
So... when I want to find the next occurrence of a bill that isn't due for more than a year (e.g. driver's license renewal), I have to remember to look in Bills & Income / Bills "Next one due", rather than Home / Bills & Income Reminders.
It might be less confusing if those viewing options could be made consistent in both areas of Quicken.
