In the Schedule C tax report, if you select to "Show expenses as negative" and have a total loss instead of profit, the loss amount displays as a positive number instead of negative.
When you turn of the "Show expenses as negative" the loss displays as negative again.
A total loss should always display as negative regardless of if we choose to "Show expenses as negative" or not.
Here are examples:
When "Show expenses as negative" is off, the total loss is negative as expected.
But, when "Show expenses as negative" is on, the total loss is positive, which is obviously very confusing!
This bug has been present for a very long time and I have submitted it multiple times.
I always prefer to "Show expenses as negative" but it doesn't work when you have a total loss instead of profit, so for now I just keep it turned off.
Hoping the Quicken team can eventually patch this little math bug at some point!
