• New transaction

  A downloaded transaction is marked as New in the Downloaded Transactions list when Quicken finds no transaction in your transaction list that matches it. When you select a New transaction on the Downloaded Transactions tab, the transaction list previews the way the new transaction will appear when you accept it. Quicken does not actually add the transaction to the transaction list until you click Accept or Accept All.

  Before you accept a new transaction, check that you don't have a transaction that should have matched the new one.

• Matched transactions

  A downloaded transaction is marked as a Match if it is the same as a transaction you've already entered in your investment transaction list. Click the Match transaction on the Downloaded Transactions tab and look at its matching transaction (highlighted in the transaction list) to make sure you agree it's a match. When you accept a matched transaction, Quicken marks the downloaded transaction as Accepted and your list transaction as cleared.

  For Quicken to identify a match, everything about the transaction must be the same: the security, action, date, number of shares, price, amount, and the ratio of the stock split. The dates must also match exactly.

• Near match transactions

  Quicken marks a downloaded transaction as a Near Match if it appears to be the same as a transaction in your transaction list, but there's a slight difference.

  Check the date and the share price. In most cases, the downloaded transaction is more accurate than the transaction in the investment transaction list, so you should just accept the downloaded transaction (when it overwrites the list transaction, Quicken retains any additional information that you may have entered by hand). If you think the list transaction is more accurate, you can delete the downloaded transaction. For more information, see Editing and deleting downloaded transactions.
