Using Quicken Reports at Tax Time (Windows Product Highlight)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When tax time comes, it\u2019s great to have Quicken as a resource. If you have been diligently tracking your income and expenses over the past year, Quicken\u2019s reports will help you get the information you need to complete your taxes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is important to review your transactions for the year before <\/strong>you run reports. This ensures that you have properly categorized your transactions, especially those related to income and expenses, that may impact your taxes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you aren\u2019t sure which categories are related to taxes, use Ctrl+Shift+C <\/strong>to bring up the Category List<\/strong>. The Tax Line Item<\/strong> column identifies what categories are used to calculate information for specific tax forms. You can edit an individual category to make changes to the Tax Line Item<\/strong> information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quicken offers the following Tax Reports<\/strong>, which you can access by going to Reports <\/strong>\u2192 Tax<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Schedule A-Itemized Deduction<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
