Quicken - foreign taxes not downloaded

Now that I don't trust Quicken for ANY of my 1040 Schedule info, I've been going thru and comparing the paper 1099's line by line to see where Quicken falters.

Here's another bit of data that falls thru the cracks..... Foreign Tax Paid.

I don't see it getting downloaded for any of my mutual funds. The fund company must not transmit a transaction for Foreign Tax Paid ?

BUT - it then messes up comparing a 1099 to the Quicken imported data. ie - DIV = $295 ST Gain = $357 Quicken & TurboTax then show Box 1 = $652 (295 + 357)

BUT there is a $28 Foreign Tax on the 1099-DIV which therefore has Box 1 $680

I think most people transmit information from Quicken to Turbo Tax at their peril because of situations exactly like this. You *can* do this, however, if you wait for your final 1099's, (1099's are due by the end of February and, even though they're often available earlier, earlier 1099's are frequently followed by "Corrected" 1099's), enter all correcting entries into Quicken, and then pass that information along to Turbo Tax. You still won't be able to pass along information about Qualifying dividends (re your earlier post) as no version of Quicken I've used has made this distinction.

This isn't entirely Quicken's fault, however, as a lot of the information of the 1099's isn't determined until some time after the fact.

Correction: 1099's that are sent to folks must be postmarked by 1/31. They are due to the IRS at the end of Feb (paper) or mid-March (electronically).

agree across the board - merely venting and getting these things posted for future reference & group searching

it's too bad that the Quicken protocol & file formats for the FI's aren't strict enough to encompass all these reporting issues...

At least one of my brokers (Schwab) is no better. You don't find out the true numbers until they issue 1099s in Feb. You can't get it from their web site or monthly statements. I then have to go back and change eg. reinvested dividend to dividend (gross), share purchase (net) and misc exp (foeign tax paid).

Quicken won't compute dividends or interest from US obligations or qualified dividends. I have to do that myself.
