Follow these steps to record the purchase of a U.S. Treasury security, municipal, or corporate bond. Use your most recent statement to obtain the information Quicken requests.
Don't use this procedure for U.S. Savings bonds—record the purchase of U.S. Savings bonds in the Buy a Security dialog.
For information about how to record bond sales, return of principal or capital, retirement of Ginnie Mae bonds, and so on, see Tracking bonds and CDs.
Recording a transaction in Quicken does not execute a real-world trade, transfer, or other transaction. Contact your broker to execute trades or transfers, and then manually record the transactions in Quicken—better yet, download them directly from your participating financial institution.
