Default Re: How to enter reinvestment of dividends

I agree, it's a little annoying that they send it as two separate
transactions. Not all brokerages do that. I don't think it really matters
though - just makes your register twice as long.

I would rather use reinvest dividend, but it always downloads as a dividend
and a buy with all the Investment Outfits I have used (Morgan-Keegan, UBS,
and Fidelity). So I gave up and did it their way. I don't think it
matters. I would be interested in others' opinions.

Yes. Expect to pay tax on that dividend too, unless it is on a
tax-deferred account.

Either is correct.

Default How to enter reinvestment of dividends

I have been entering as 1) dividend then 2) buy However, in my
income vs spending report, this is showing up as investment income.
Is this correct? I never actually see the money, as it is reinvested
by the mutual fund company. If I use reinvest dividend, will it show
up as investment income. The question actually is "What is the
correct way to do this?" Thanks
