Tell me about how tags work with businesses

A business tag is a specialized tag that Quicken uses to group the transactions for a business.

After you add the business tag and apply the business tag to the appropriate transactions, Quicken displays the data for your business in a number of ways.

Adding a business tag to Quicken

When you add a business to Quicken, you tell Quicken the name of your business and the tag you want to use for the transactions for that business.

Using a business tag with a transaction

When you enter a transaction in Quicken, you have the option to include a tag. When one of the tags you include is a business tag, Quicken can associate the transaction with the appropriate business.

  • If I just track one business, do I need to include the business tag in every transaction?
  • What if I include more than one business tag?
  • What if the transaction I need to enter belongs to more than one business?
  • Does the transaction I add a business tag to need to be in a business account?
