Wash sales and Quicken - Quicken is good with "easy" transactions, the buy and sell of one securtity. when there are multiple trades in the same security, you need to manually identify which lot you are selling to which purchase. There is no automatic adjustment of cost basis for wash sales that i was able to find. You have to manually enter the info when there are "lots" of the same stock. At that time you could adjust the cost basis, but would have to be done manually. I am, at this point, somewhat disappointed in the results. If it was maintained during the course of the year, rather then dowloaded end of march, it probably would be better. larry
