Two problems:
1. Dividends are entered from TD Ameritrade but must always
be edited to read "Qualified Dividends." Can't this be
entered correctly automatically?
2. The few pennies earned on our cash in the account are not
entered. I had to tally back with Ameritrade's statements
several months to accumulate the few pennies equaling the 20
cent total error. The statements had just let the pennies
float, but did enter June's $.06.
Am I being too picky? Otherwise "bivio" is most efficient.
We love it!
Thanks,

You can't do this until the qualified waiting period is up.
Therefore, we wait until the end of the year, and fill in the
ex-dividend dates for you during the tax interview. It's a lot easier
to just wait.

This is a TD Ameritrade bug, which is being worked on by TD
Ameritrade. If you want to know the gory details, read a previous

No, your books should be correct. Our goal is to get them as correct
as possible. Unfortunately, most brokers don't give us enough data to
make this happen. We are constantly improving AccountSync, but there
are some problems (like this one) which we simply can't work around.

Thanks for the compliment!
