How do I reinvest income (dividend, interest, or capital gain)?

Use the Reinvest Income dialog to record purchases of additional shares of a security with money paid to you by that security as dividend or interest income or capital gains distribution (short-, mid-, or long-term).

1. Open the account you want to use.

2. Click Enter Transactions.

3. In the Enter Transaction list, select Reinvest - Income Reinvested.

4. Use the applicable fields in this dialog to record a dividend, interest, or capital gain you've received and are going to reinvest (not all fields are required).

5. Click Enter/New to enter another transaction, or Enter/Done to finish.
