Omitting zero-sum capital gains report entries

Mar 13, 2005 0 Replies

Is there any way to omit entries with no gain (such as from an acquisition) from the capital gains report? I use the proceeds and cost basis figures for summaries to my accountant, and I have to make special summary entries for these because they are included in the total. Alternatively, is there a way to record an acquisition such that it does not generate remove/add share transactions that trigger these zero-sum capital gains entries? I have tried the stock split/rename procedure, but that doesn't seem to work on an acquisition because you can't rename the old security to an existing security. I'm using Quicken 2004. Thanks.
