(This is one of the longest-running, and most highly voted, feature requests. Unfortunately, we don't yet know when this functionality will appear, just that they are working on it. The developers understand that users want this functionality and why, and we've been told it's under development was they tackle a number of significant feature requests for the budget area of the program. The product manager indicated that was a necessary first step to allowing budgets to similarly include or exclude certain transfers. If you've been using Quicken Mac for a while, you may be aware that a similar need existed with reports, and over the past year, they have added the ability to selectively include or exclude transfers from reports. So there needs to be a way to budget for transfers, selectively. The Quicken Mac product manager said it was decided at the upper levels of the company to not allow transfers to have categories to prevent unintended accounting problems in other areas. Earlier versions of Quicken Mac actually allowed this to some extent, but Quicken now limits it in most cases, and will eventually change old transactions set up that way. It's just not consistent accounting-wise to allow transactions to be both transfer and categorized expenses.
