Write your reply.

assistant: Hallo ALL
I am using Quicken 6, german version.
I have a bank account and a depot with stocks with the same bank. I started
recently to update my bank account via T-online.
Before, when I typed the data, I could go to the depot and added the dividend
to the stock. Then I transferred the money to the bank account. The IRR of
the stocks should be correctly this way and the bank account was fine as
ll.
Now with online banking the dividends are apearing only in the bank account
and I assume the IRR of the stocks will become wrong. The depot does not know
anymore about the dividends.
Does anyone know a workaround?

I recently sold a motorcycle that I called up a vehicle sales

ROFL! I guess it just goes to show that being a long-time user doesn't

Actually, it wasn't so much setting it up in Quicken itself that poses
problems, but rather the Quicken Financial Planner. I also bought
TurboTax Deluxe shortly acquiring Quicken98 (and with the upgrade and
other rebates, TT nearly paid for itself!<g>) QFP is on the TT disk,
but has an icon to launch it from within Quicken.
To make a long story longer, QFP doesn't seem to take into account that
my pension is an additional income, along with savings and investments.
I finally figured out how to set up things in Quicken and deal with my
VA disability portion that isn't taxed, but the rest of the military
pension is.
