This link appears only when you have business expense transactions that are unspecified.

If you have unspecified business income transactions, resolve them in a Tax Schedule or Schedule C report.

Unspecified business transactions meet one or more of the following criteria. A transaction is considered resolved when it no longer contains any of the following conditions:

• The transaction uses a category with a Schedule C tax line item, but it does not include a business tag.
  • How do I resolve this?
    Quicken needs to know the business this transaction is for. You have two options:

    • Tag the transaction with the appropriate business tag.
    • Edit your business information to select the check box named Untagged business transactions belong to this business. Quicken then assumes all transactions belong to this business, even when you don't specifically tag the transaction with a business tag.
• The transaction has more than one business tag.
  • How do I resolve this?
    You have two options:

    • Retag the transaction so it includes a single business tag.
    • Split the category to make each business a separate line.
• The transaction includes a business tag, but the category does not include a tax line item.
  • How do I resolve this?
    You have two options:

    • You can change the category to one that already includes a Schedule C tax line item.
    • You can add a Schedule C tax line item to the category to the transaction.
• The transaction uses the category named Not Sure Business Expense, or it uses a category with the tax line item Schedule C:Unspecified Business Expense or Schedule C:Unspecified Business Income.
  • How do I resolve this?

    You need to assign a category to the transaction that used a valid tax line item.

    • If the transaction uses the Not Sure Business Expense category, change the category to one that uses the correct Schedule C tax line item.
    • If the transaction uses a category with the Schedule C:Unspecified Business Expense tax line item or the Schedule C:Unspecified Business Income tax line item, change the tax line item to one that is valid.
• The transaction is an in invoice/receivables or accounts payable account without the appropriate category.
  • How do I resolve this?
    You need to assign the appropriate category.
