SYMPTOMS
In the budget, if you enter expected dividends under Additional Household Income, the forecast will count them twice, once as Additional Household Income and once through investment gains that are generated based on the rate of return specified in the Savings & Investments area.



CAUSE
The budget erroneously instructs you to include expected dividends in the Additional Household Income section of the top-level budget. This is wrong because that income is included in the rate of return set in the Savings and Investments place.



RESOLUTION
Do not include dividend information in the budget.



MORE INFORMATION
The rate of growth specified in the Savings & Investments area encompasses all investment growth, whether it is capital appreciation, interest, or non-reinvested dividends.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.
