the numbers to match. I was thinking that if one brokerage could get the
capital gain in there through the transaction download (.ofc file, if memory
serves me correctly?), that maybe the user could also trick Money into doing
it for the other brokerage.

Thanks for your advice.

Interesting that the MMF can have the CG.

I figure to get my fund CG info from the 1099 rather than having
Money pass the MF CG data for tax return. However if you really
wanted to have Money do a CG transaction for that report, you could
create a pseudo-mutualFund with no symbol that would just have the
CG transactions. Yep, hokey.

The less hokey method would be to record the CG as OtherIncome but
adjust the CG info from the 1099s.

California Money Market. This was the first time in over ten years of
holding them that either has had a capital gain distribution.

I am curious what the Fidelity fund was.

Money market funds aren't supposed to have capital gain distributions, but
this year two of mine did. The first (USAA) downloaded the transactions, and
they appear as capital gains, which is good. The second (Fidelity) did not
download, and I can't enter them manually, because capital gains are not an
accepted. (For this reason, I also can't edit the first transactions.) I'm
using 2007 Deluxe, by the way.

Any ideas how to enter this, so my tax software reports match the 1099's? I
tried manually editing a qif file, but Money changed it. Money won't allow
changing an investment type from mutual fund to money market (or vice versa).
One idea I had was to enter a dummy mutual fund investment, record the
capital gain distribution in that one, and record a buy in the money market
fund, but that seems hokey.

Anyone else have ideas?

Thanks,
