Distributed Dividends

[gmsimon]

Not sure why but I noticed 4 dividend transactions dated 4/8/14 in my cash account for stocks I own but none of whom paid dividends on April 8th (& none of these show in my brokerage account). Strange...

Hi gmsimon,

What do the transaction memo fields say?

[gmsimon]

there were 4 line entries - all said 'Distributed Dividends from xxx' (where xxx=symbol). The only problem - none of these 4 stocks paid dividends on 4/8/14 (date shown on transactions). Also, I always enter my transactions manually (not importing from any brokerage firms). Thus, I have no idea where these came from or why...

I'm not sure how they got there either... I guess just keep an eye on it, and see if the problem happens again.

Will do.
