I record my shares and dividends placed in mine and my wife's name in separate Interactive Investor accounts and have these logged in Moneydance on my computer.
I have gifted these shares to my son and daughter in view of advancing years without selling them first and would be grateful to know how I can remove them from my Moneydance system

   In Moneydance that's a SellXfr transaction and use the cost basis as the sale value.. Transfer the funds to a suitable category - e.g. IHT gifts..

   I tried to transfer the cash in the account using Xfr Transfer funds to from another account but it merely adds the cash to the existing amount in effect doubling the amount in the account rather than reducing it to nil.

   
   

   I can’t work out why and would appreciate your help

   
   

   Regards

   Have you done a SellXfr and an Xfr? If so, just do one or the other, not both.

   Otherwise, please explain what MD txns you have done?

   To use a XFR to transfer funds out of an account you use a negative amount, you are taking the money out of the account.
