Q11 Tax sked interest problem

I recently upgraded from Q08 to Q11. I'm having a problem with my tax schedule report. I have some investment accounts that are set as "tax deferred: yes" and are NOT "single mutual fund" accounts in the account details and also show up as retirement accounts. The accounts hold multiple CDs. Each CD is set up as a security.

The problem is that in my tax schedule report the interest on these CDs is showing up in the Sked B interest section. I never had a problem with this before in Q08, Q05, etc. The only way I could get rid of this was to change the security type for each CD from type CD to type tax-defered.

Before doing this I imported my Q11 data into TTax10, and the CD interest did NOT import as Sked B interest, so tax import seems to work, it's just the tax sked report that seems messed up.

Anyone know about this?

[There is no security type "tax-deferred"; could you mean you put a checkmark in the "Tax Free" box for your CD's?}

When I create a Tax Schedule report in Q2011 RPM R8 U.S., Quicken automatically excludes all tax-deferred investment accounts.

Are you creating a new report from the Quicken Reports > Tax menu, or are you using a "Saved" report converted from your previous version? Quicken has been known to make mistakes when converting saved reports.

I always use the reports tax menu.

In my edit security details page, tho following options are available on the type pull-down lost:

Bond CD Emp. Stock Opt ESPP Market Index Mutual Fund Other Stock tax defered tax xmpt US Savings Bond

I note in the help for Q11R8 it doesn't show tax defered or tax xmpt as a default type. If it was something I added it was from years ago.

However, I restarted Quicken and edited all of them back to CD, and now it's working? I don't think I changed anything else. I don't think I've ever seen a case wheree I had to restart in order to get something to work before.

Glad you got it working.

But you haven't explained whether your original Tax Schedule report included tax-deferred (retirement) accounts.

In my experience, Quicken excludes tax-deferred accounts from the Tax Schedule report by default. If tax-deferred accounts are included in the Tax Schedule report; their "income" will also be included in the report.

You're right: "tax defered" and "tax xmpt" are not security "Types" that Quicken provides by default ... and security types whose characteristics Quicken doesn't recognize separately from their underlying characteristics. Users can create their own Security Types, but Quicken will not know what the user created type "means".

If you intended type "tax xmpt" securities to be tax free securities - for example - but you were to mix Quicken non-"Tax Free" securities with Quicken "Tax Free" securities in the "tax xmpt" type; I don't believe Quicken would treat the non-Tax Free securities as being Tax Free.

I probably had some reason years ago why I did that, but none of my current securities have those types assigned. I first started with Quicken for Windows v 3 and have every investment transaction going back to 1982. The securities in question are exclusively held in 2 accounts that are maked as "IRA" and tax deferred "yes" radio button is selected. There are additional IRA accounts that didn't have the problem, only the two that contained only CD securites, which is what led me to think it had something to do with that. (But I guess it could also be related to the transactions in the affected accounts are _IntInc while in the other tax deferred accounts they are _DivInc or _Cg*.)

At any rate it still seems to be working right, so I will just knock on wood and move on. I got the taxes finished up today so I don't want to look at Quicken for a while.
