Revinvested dividends reporting- Quicken H& B

I see a lot of reinvested money market dividends in my Q2008 Premier "Income/Expense by Category" report.

But I don't see any for my "tax free" money market funds.

Are all your mm funds tax free?

I am seeing much different results from the two of you, and I have investment accounts at Vanguard and USAA. My downloaded transactions from Vanguard and USAA are "almost" always correct ... and I have mm funds at both fi's, and the mm fund transactions are always correct.

For me, the only accounts I see that have any difference from what I do, or would, enter manually (a difference which is minor) are USAA "brokerage" accounts ... where "reinvestments" are treated differently (as they are in my other "brokerage" accounts) --- but then, reinvestments of non-mutual funds are not true "reinvestments", so I am not troubled by this difference.

For starters: do you have a Quicken "cash" account linked to your Quicken investment account?

What type of accounts are you having problems with? IRA? 401K? Non-tax-advantaged accounts?

Also: are your Vanguard/USAA accounts "brokerage" accounts (as opposed to pure mutual fund accounts?) Accounts where you buy and sell non-mutual fund securities?

Thanks, JM.

The link in the above post would not work for me, so I didn't see the original thread.

Your post in the "other" :) forum indicates the problem was with the "Itemized Category" report (and it still is).

But the op in this thread was having the problem with the "Income/Expense by Category" report. Also, in the "Itemized Category" report, no reinvestment transactions appear; the op in this thread says only money market reinvestments are missing in the Income/Expense report.

I see all my money market reinvestment transactions in my "Income/Expense by Category" report ... except those for tax free money market funds, which I assume to be correct treatment. I see them for Smith Barney, Vanguard, and USAA. I see them in tax-deferred accounts and non-tax-deferred accounts.

I have reinvestment transactions for these mm funds appearing in my Income/Expense report:

USAAX USAA Money Market Fund VMMXX Vanguard Prime Money Market Fund SBCXX Western Asset Money Market Fund (Smith Barney)

I can't think of any explanation for the missing mm funds.

I don't keep that kind of info in my head, but I happen to have a test file that has some unaccepted Smith Barney transactions in it.

The downloaded transaction for my Western Asset Money Market Fund arrives as a "Miscellaneous income" transaction which becomes a "Deposit" transaction when I "accept" it.

A "Deposit" transaction can't be modified to a reinvestment transaction, so I must delete the downloaded transaction and enter a reinvestment transaction from scratch.

I have no idea why Smith Barney is sending a "Deposit" transaction when they could send a "Reinvestment" transaction or even a "Dividend" transaction plus a Buy transaction.

Please just confirm: you are referring to the "Income/Expense by Category" report.

Yes, I think that's a good plan. You can download to as many files as you like; downloading to one file will not affect downloading to any other file. So if you create a "New" file with just your SB account, you can see what Smith Barney downloads. You'll have to answer questions about "new" securities (if you don't set them up before the download), and you'll get offerred a bunch of placeholders; but it should still be worth doing.

My SB account online also shows me getting a "reinvest" for my mm fund dividend ... but it doesn't download that way.

Is this a "Save"d report? Was it saved in a previous version of Quicken and "converted" to Q2008?

If so, what happens if you create a new Income/Expense report from the Quicken "Report" menu? [Note that the Income/Expense report defaults to excluding investment accounts.]
