How do I review and accept my downloaded transactions?

After Quicken downloads your transactions, you can review the transactions before entering them in your register in a matching process called Compare to Register.

Compare to Register gives you the opportunity to choose what to do with each downloaded transaction. For example, is it a new transaction? Or should it match a transaction that has already been entered into the register? Compare to Register helps keep your registers accurate. If you don't want this level of control, Quicken has a great new time-saving feature called Automatic Transaction Entry.

Open the account you want to work with.
Click the Downloaded Transactions tab. If you'd like, you can click the column headings to sort the transactions.
Quicken assigns a Status to each downloaded transaction:
- For transactions marked New
  A status of New means that Quicken did not find a match for the downloaded transaction in the register.
  - To enter the downloaded transaction in the register, click Accept.
  - If the downloaded transaction should be matched to a register transaction, click the Edit button, and then choose Match Manually. Quicken opens a window to allow you to select one or more transactions to match the transaction with. If you select more than one transaction, Quicken enters a split transaction in your account register with a single line for each selected transaction and a line for the difference in amounts, if any.
- For transactions marked Match
  A status of Match means that Quicken has found a match for the downloaded transaction in the register. This happens when you enter a transaction in advance of it being downloaded. For example, if you use Quicken Bill Pay or Quicken Reminders.
  - If the downloaded transaction is correctly matched to a register transaction, click Accept.
  - If the downloaded transaction should not be matched to any register transaction, click the Edit button, and then choose Make New. Quicken changes the transaction's status to New.
  - If the downloaded transaction is matched to the wrong register transaction, click the Edit button and then choose Unmatch. Quicken attempts to match the transaction again. If no transactions are close enough, Quicken changes the transaction's status to New.
- For transactions marked Updated
  A status of Updated means that your bill pay provider has changed your payment request in some way. For example, you may have requested that a payment be processed on a certain date, but it was processed slightly earlier because the requested date did not fall on a business day for your bill pay service provider.
  - To update the transaction information in your register, click Accept. If you prefer not to update the transaction, click Ignore instead.
- For transactions marked Canceled, Failed, or No Funds
  - For transactions marked Canceled, Failed, or No Funds, click Accept. Quicken voids the transaction in your register.
You can delete one or more transactions if they do not match. Select your transaction(s), then delete them using the Delete key, CTRL+D, right-click Delete Transactions, or the Delete button. You will be asked to confirm the deletion.
When you've finished accepting transactions, click Done.
