    - Money and doing taxes? I currently am an independent contractor. Is there a way when I get a paycheck that has 0 dollars taken out for taxes, to keep track of how much I need to save/put away to file with the government? Tag: How to sync money between Laptop and desktop computers Tag: 163698

    - Account balance dsicrepencies within Money 2004 Premium? I have been using Money 2004 Premium for about six months now and love it. It is so easy to use and has really helped me get a handle on where my money is going and getting my finances under control. This has really been helpful with my "Total Money Makeover". However, I do have one, very small problem. A few months ago a 1 cent discrepency popped up in one account. I have one account with a very small balance of $210.74. The Money account register says $210.74, my bank statements say $210.74, my bank's online info says $210.74 and Money and my bank agree whenever I synch up and update the data online. The discrepency is in the amount shown on the Account List page or under my Favorite Accounts section of my Money Home screen. They both show the account balance as 1 cent less at $210.73. What gives? Has anyone else ever noticed a problem like this? Is it a bug? It's only with this one account and it hasn't always been this way. I've looked everywhere I can think of but it has me totally stumped. Like I said, it's only 1 cent and not a big Earth shattering deal but I would expect all of the data to match within the same application at the very least and I'd like to get it corrected if at all possible. Any ideas or suggestions? Thanks. Tag: How to sync money between Laptop and desktop computers Tag: 163692

    - Money Accessibility and Sharing Forgive me for reposting, but it's been nearly a week, and I didn't want to be forgotten. I am running Windows XP. My wife doesn't see very well, so her windows profile is set to 800 x 600 with extremely large fonts, etc. We have our My Money.mny file in our "Shared Documents" folder, but when she starts Money from her profile and attemps to open the money file, we get a message that says she doesn't have permission to access it. How can I solve this problem? Thanks. Tag: How to sync money between Laptop and desktop computers Tag: 163691

However, even though I can log into Money 2004 with the new sign-in name and everything works on the web, each time I open Money 2004 it still has the older sign-in name in the Sign-In Name field. I'm able to retype the new one and then my password but I'd like to be able to set Money to remember the new Sign-In Name. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    - Transaction Date for online payments When I enter a future date for an epay, Money changes it to the earliest possible pay date. I want the date to remain the exact date I entered. For example, I plan to make a deposit on the First, and want to schedule an epay for the 3rd. I enter the transaction on the 25th of the previous month with a "pay date" of the 3rd. As soon as I Submit the payment, the date changes to the 30th, but I haven't made the deposit yet. I want Money to show the 3rd in the transaction register. I know this can be done with a setting, but I can't find where to set it in Money 2002. Tag: How to sync money between Laptop and desktop computers Tag: 163685

    - Update your property value with data from HomeAdvisor? In Money 2002 I used to be able to go to the "House" view of the Money home page, click on "Estimate My Home's Value" and then be taken to a web page where I would enter my address. It would then estimate my home's current value and update that value in Money. What happened to that quite useful module? Now, when I click on "Estimate My Home's Value" and enter my address, I may get one or two recent home sale prices in the area, and that's it. No estimate of my home's value and no automatic Money update. Since I have no idea if my home is comparable to those, the whole thing is now quite useless. Any feedback or suggestions? Thanks, -Ted Tag: How to sync money between Laptop and desktop computers Tag: 163684

    - Money 2004 Canadian I got an new Dell LT and it had Money 2004 installed. I did setup my accounts there and everything was working for me until I started my RRSP accounts. I found out that everything was designed for the US (TAX-Accounting system). I am looking every where but I can't find a Money 2004 Canadian version. Can I use the same license to just convert to the canadian version of the software? I don't really need the US one.

    - how do I enter annual budget items? 'new to Money04. I pay my own real estate taxes, so there are 3 once-a-year bills for local, county and school taxes. I entered them as recurring yearly bills, but they don't show up on my monthly budget :-( Right now it shows the money I know I need for that as being disposable income! Isn't the point of budgeting so that we'll have that money when our taxes come due? I hope so, and I hope one of you kind people will know how to fix this.

    - Interesting Support / Warranty Information On Money & Quicken http://www.microsoft.com/money/info/comparison.asp http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=fh;en-us;prodoffer18&sd=GN I was just looking through that comparison chart and noticed that Microsoft Money 2004 Deluxe, Premium, & Small Business versions come with 3 years of unlimited support and 3 years of online services. The Standard version comes with only 1 year of unlimited support and 2 years of online services. On converting Quicken files the footnote says this... "The Converter Wizard for Quicken® in the U.S. version of Microsoft Money 2004 Premium will convert files from Quicken U.S. versions 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, Quicken 2002, and Quicken 2003." http://www.intuit.com/support/quicken/2004/options/winindex.html?product=..% 2F2004%2Foptions%2Fwinindex.html&submit=Go This is the only link on the Quicken webpage I can find about support options. Apparently, there is no unlimited support and it costs $1.95 / minute!!! That is f'ing crazy! I am not a Quicken user yet, but it would seem to me they could at least match the same length of support as Microsoft does on similar products. I will stick with Money.

    - 401(k) Headaches - Beginner Advice Needed Okay, I'm in the process of learning the whole process of managing accounts with Money... up until now haven't had to do anything with a 401(k) plan. In my infinite lack of wisdom in this area, I have no idea how to set this thing up in Money 2004's 401(k) manager or confirm that it is in fact properly set up. I've successfully got the 401(k) account put into Money, and I have set up the last several paychecks' 401(k) contributions section to go to, for example, "My 401(k) Plan (Contributions)". Does this number typically also include the amount that my employer contributes also? I'm looking at my first statement which I received 12/31/03... and the numbers from my own Contributions and the "New Contributions" seciton are close, but not quite: Money 2004 says $269.86; the statement says $252.52 (note that this is before the Net Market Change of $7.16). Why the $17 difference? Is there a discrepancy other than maybe an incorrectly entered number in my paychecks? Also, how do I know what to enter for my investments for this account when trying to enter information from a statement? I see that the company is not listed as being one of Money's online banking accounts, but is there a way to download information for the individual investments? Even if I can't download information for them, I have no idea how to classify them... Bond, CD or U.S. Savings Bond, Equity or Index Option, Money Market, Mutual Fund, or Stock. Money presents me these choices but the name of the investment isn't always clear on what it is: SA12Gov'tCpBd SA21Balanced SA49Amer GrIn SA35FidVIPCon SA58FidVIPGro SA17MedCapEq SA56DelSmCpVl Although I do have some longer descriptions of the name, that still leaves me not knowing how to classify it in Money, or knowing how to confirm my numbers are right. Any suggested reading or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Ken Tag: How to sync money between Laptop and desktop computers Tag: 163669

    - Bills, Accounts and Budget I have opened checking accounts and credit card accts on money. When I pay a credit card via Bills and Deposits, it enters it on both accounts but not in the budget, if I pay it through the checking account it will then appear in the budget but not on the credit card account..even those categories and subcategories are the same. What am I doing wrong?? If I do it the second way I found I can manually enter it on the credit card account but need to exclude from budget or it doubles...which is double the work entering.

    - Unassigning category from payee Money 2004 Deluxe: I've read in other threads that you can't assign a default category to a payee. What, then, can you do when Money continually assigns the same wrong sub-category to a particular payee in downloaded transactions? I have repeatedly corrected the error in the register transaction forms, but Money refuses to get a clue. On the other hand, Money 2000 had it right, with the same file (prior to converting to Money 2004,) and Money 2004 has been very successful at applying the payee's alias -- so it's not completely incapable of learning. Any ideas would be appreciated. Tag: How to sync money between Laptop and desktop computers Tag: 163657

    - Incentive Stock Options I used MSFT Money for while and had an account with Incentive Stock Options that I "synced" with MSN Money's Portfolio. That resulted in an account showing the Stock Option purchases. Now I have been granted another ISO and want it to show up in the MSN portfolio. The problem is I have converted from Money to Quicken and there does not appear to be a way to directly enter Incentive Stock Options into the MSN Portfolio -- Only Stock and Option contracts (Puts for example). I know this is the Money Software newsgroup, but I was hoping someone might be able to help me. Thank you and have a nice day.

    - Home equity LOC - there has to be a better way I'm getting tired of how Money handles my equity LOC. I have it set up as a credit card type account, which is really the source of the problem, but Money doesn't really provide an alternative that I'm aware of. First of all, it considers it equivalent to credit card debt for the purposes of reporting, planning for savings goals, etc. And the Tax planner has a nasty bug in which it refuses to pull in transactions I have in the LOC even though I have them categorized as Loan:Mortgage Interest. Anyone found a workaround for these issues? I thought about possibly changing it to a bone fide loan account, but seems like it could be problematic too. Any ideas?

    - Sorting Subcategories in Money 2004 My wife is using Money 2004 for a variety of accounts and a perplexing problem has come up -- we cannot seem to find a way to re-sort report subcategories.

    - Upgrade from Money 97 to 2004 and additional ? I have been operating in Money 97 since the beginning of time. I have recently obtained Money 2004, and wished to ask the user group of any issues prior to upgrading to the latest edition. They are both Standard editions, as it is used for personal home use. I appreciate any assistance offered to avoid pitfalls. Secondly, I have discovered that I have incorrectly accounted for a Loan/Overdraft protection account that effects multiple accounts. Is there a way to make holistic changes vs. individual line items in either edition? I have been unable to find this tool, and have nearly 250+ entries over the course of time, and was looking for an easy way to correct my errors. Finally, on this same account, it appears to have a running total of all tranactions. Rather than have a current balance for advances then payments on the account, it has a running total vs. balance. How can I correct this situation. Again, thank you for assistance. JT jthompson@interlinguainc.com Tag: How to sync money between Laptop and desktop computers Tag: 163609

Also, in the Investment Performance section at the bottom of the Portfolio screen, the commentary says the average weighted cost for one of the funds is $0.
