Net worth Doesn't match Investments

I think the title pretty much says what I am scratching my head over and I think it's been going on a while. I use Quicken Premier and Win 11.

So here's my story….When I pull a net worth report, the net worth shows about $200 more than the investment screen for my broker (Charles Schwab). I am somehow confident this has been caused by me messing something up about a year ago, but I am at a loss on how to track it down. Don't want to silly nilly correct an entry and make a new one, would rather be surgical and determine where I made the mistake.

Does anyone have any guidance for me? Both finding my error and what to do to correct it. I trade covered call options fairly frequently, and something tells me I screwed something up in the process of entering a sell short and a corresponding CvrSht when the option was assigned.

Appreciate any assistance in getting to the bottom of this one.

    Hi @SteveTucker79,

    Thank you for sharing the details of what you’re experiencing.

    To help identify any discrepancies, I recommend comparing the Net Worth report (Account Details) with the Holdings view for the affected account. Before proceeding, please make sure to save a backup of your data file.

    Steps to compare Net Worth vs. Holdings:

    1. Open the account in question
    2. Select Holdings in the upper-right corner of the account Screenshot 2026-04-07 at 8.01.31 AM.png
    3. Open the Net Worth report
    4. Double-click the balance for the affected account to view the underlying transactions
    5. Use subtotaling or sorting by security to make the comparison easier

    This process should help pinpoint any inconsistencies. Once identified, you can manually correct the discrepancies within the account as needed.

    Please let me know how it goes!

    Thank you so much for trying to assist and I am not sure if I grabbed the correct report :-(. The abbount that is off is a brokerage account and there seems like five or six entries for each and i had no idea what I was looking at, so I chose not to screw anything up.

    Thanks again for trying.
