Question: What are Quicken Attachments?
When someone asks me, "what are Quicken attachments?" I know the next question will be, "why would I use Quicken attachments?"
Answer: Quicken attachments are notes, flags, alert or digital images you can associate with, or attach to, transactions and accounts. The digital images can be receipts, account statements, invoices - anything on paper that you can scan to a digital image file or save from a web page.
Quicken image attachments are handy for being able to quickly find and refer back to documentation associated with your financial transactions and accounts.
Useful Quicken image attachments:
- The receipt for your tax software so you can claim it as a deduction on your income taxes.
- The quarterly report statement for an investment account you track in Quicken.
- The receipt for a job-related expense that you have submitted on an expense report. Attach the expense report to the transaction as well.
- The warranty for the espresso maker you just purchased.
