Just looked at one of my statements where there was a 3/2 split and a remainder. Schwab doesn't show the 3/2 number; all it shows are two journal entries for this: (old qty was 35 shares) 5/31 Stock Split 17 (qty) Company name (no price) (no value) 5/31 Cash-in-Lieu (no qty)Company name (no price) $13.98 A 3/2 split on 35 sh would be 52.5 shares, and it looks like they sold off the .5 share to yield $13.98 cash remainder. In Quicken, when you enter a stock split, it asks you for number of old shares and number of new shares (see attachment). You can either enter the real number (35-old, 52-new) or the ratio (3-old, 2-new). If you enter the ratio, Quicken calculates the new qty and shows any fractional shares---it doesn't calculate the cash remainder, though. Carol
