I think Quicken will take care of it. Say you buy 100, and your sell is split 88 and 12. The report will show a buy of 88, a sell of 88, a buy of 12 (at the price you paid for the 100) and a sell of 12. This is assuming that the 88 and 12 are at different prices. (since I exit on stops, this happens to me occasionally.) If the 88 and the 12 happen at the same price, I just enter it as one trade of 100 shares.

Remember that we are the IRS's worst nightmare. Can you imagine being a market-clueless pencil pusher and have to go through a day-traders trading records. As long as you've got the confirms for backup, it doesn't really matter how you report it (within reason, of course.)

Later-
Wilson
