Moving TD Ameritrade account to new Schwab account

[dmorse147]

Been trying to do this but Portfolio Value report shows new Schwab account with a negative shart value instead of positive share value. Numbers are correct for shares except for the negative sign. Any easy solution to this?

Hi dmorse147,

A couple of things to watch for when converting a TD Ameritrade account to Schwab:

- Use your existing Fund Manager TD Ameritrade sub-portfolio, and change the transaction retrieve properties and name. You don't need to create a new sub-portfolio.

- When retrieving transactions from Schwab you might (probably will) see a bunch of "Sell" transactions on the date of the move. You do not want to import these. I suspect they're an artifact of the conversion and you really didn't sell those shares, they just moved accounts. On the Preview Importing Transactions screen, un-check all of those false Sell transactions before finishing the retrieval.
