It's actually pretty simple. Begin with the "Getting Started" section in Q Help (F1).Next, you already know what many of your Accounts (Asset and Liability item) are. They're your checking, savings, credit card, loan, investment accounts.To figure out your categories, take a look at your most recent completed tax return. Anything that's shown there should probably be a Category (Income & Expense items) in Q.Then, there's the non-tax Categories. Groceries, Transportation, Reading, etc.In order to use Q's Budgeting and Planning tools, you need to tell Q WHAT you're budgeting and planning. The accounts and categories that you establish are the source of that info.Come back with any specific questions. But HELP and the above, should get you started.

Hi @Mike Moser,
I'd suggest that you consider reviewing some of the videos that are available on YouTube. Here's a link to such a video that was developed by Quicken titled "How to Create a Budget LINK. It is a good "starter" video that explains the basics.
Additionally, you can search YouTube for other videos that were posted by Quicken users for helpful instructions and tips.
Hope this helps.
