Dividends are showing up in the portfolio view of investments as a separate account with values. The dividends balances are showing up in the account quantities and then again in the Dividend Income section doubling up the balances.

    I'll take a guess at this. You have an account - an investment account - called Dividend Income, which you are using as the source category for your dividends. You should be using an income category for that, not an account.

    If I'm right, to fix it, you will need to pick (or create) an income category, then switch the "category" for all your dividend transactions to that category. Then you can rename the category and delete the unwanted Dividend Income account (which should then have no transactions in it).

    In the meantime, you can just unselect this "Dividend Income" account when you do the portfolio report.

    Thank you for your reply. It wasn't a category, but it was the use of dividers and buys. Turned the buys into reinvestments and deleted the dividends and the "account" went away.
