How do I add a tag to only one account, If I make a transaction between two account.

In making an entry that involves two account and adding a tag to one it also gets added to the other. If moving to the other account and deleting the tag it also gets deleted from the first account.

But from a cash flow standpoint I need to know how much actual cash I am using to pay my bills.

For "cash flow" I use the Project Balance graph (I have it on the Home tab, but it is also on Bills & Income tab).

The point of "cash flow" is to make sure you have the right amount of money in a give account at any given time to pay the bills. Between expenses recorded directly to the checking account and reminders of paying the credit cards, tracking the checking account in the Projected Balance graph does this. I also include the credit cards just for a reference.

For "How much did I spend" that is by category, not account and the "See Where Your Money Goes" on the Home tab and the Spending tab take care of that. And of course there are reports for this too.

As far as I know there's no way to do that. The "Tag" entry is an integral part of "ear marking" the transaction for identification purposes in the same way Category is used.

What are you trying to achieve here that makes the use of the Tag in one Quicken Account useful to you but you don't want to see that Tag in the other Account? Since an entry that "involves two account(s)" is simply a Transfer it seems like the Tag is equally applicable in both places.

Cash Flow I need to know how much money I move out of my savings account into my expense bank accounts....

I don't want to see 2 transactions offsetting each other and I don't want to exclude the savings account from the report, as there are other transactions there that I need to include in the report

But they DO offset each other. You're debiting one account and crediting the other ... that's EXACTLY what a Transfer means.

A Transfer doesn't make you either richer or poorer, unlike Income and Expense items. You're trying to show the debit (i.e., makes you poorer) side without showing the credit (offsets the debit side) ... which makes no sense from an accounting viewpoint.

But from a cash flow standpoint I need to know how much actual cash I am using to pay my bills. That's why I only want to see one side in my report. Looks like my only option is to exclude the account with the transaction that I do not want to see. Thanks fo
r your help

to ps56k, I use the Cash Flow report and then modify to include the items I tag as Cash Flow.
I created the tag and then added to items I want included in the report
