Bank of America Import Instructions

Quick and Reilly has now been merged with Bank of America Investment Services.  All account holders can thus access their account history from 10/20/2004 onward from the new Bank of America Investment Services web site.

Older Quick and Reilly trade history going back several years can be accessed through a different Bank of America web site located at www.quickandreilly.com

NOTES:

  • In their trade history reports Bank of America uses option symbols for option trades rather than option descriptions.  Therefore, when manually entering your open option positions from last tax year, you must enter them using the proper option symbol so that TradeLog™ can properly match them with the closing positions upon import.
  • The new Bank of America web site only provides trade history for the last 90 days.
  • The new Bank of America web site uses ticker symbols while the older Quick and Reilly web site uses stock descriptions.  Therefore when merging the two formats into one TradeLog data file you must change all the open positions stock descriptions from Quick and Reilly into ticker symbols.  The Edit, Change Ticker function can help with this.
