Quicken 2008 Deluxe



Every two weeks, I have $185 moved from my USAA savings to my USAA Roth IRA. I set that up as a scheduled transaction in Quicken. So, that's a



  • in my IRA. But when I update transactions, it sucks down a second transaction for the same amount. I need Quicken to know that the existing transfer and the freshly-downloaded transaction are the same thing and to "merge" or "link" tham.

It tells me, "There are no transactions to match." But there clearly is... on 5/7/2010 there's a ContribX of $185 The transactions that are waiting to be accepted are the transaction where the money is used to buy shares and "New 5/7/2010 Automated Cash Reversal / 2010 AUTOMATIC DRAFTCONTRIBUTION +185.00"

How do I make it realize the two +185.00 are the same transaction?
