Rollover 401(k) to IRA Jack Mangrove 07-21-2007

Okay, what just happened? I'm using QW 2007. I have been working on a
401(k)-to-IRA rollover.
I had the new IRA account opened at Fidelity. Then, in Quicken, I
clicked on Investing, Investing Accounts, Add Account, filled in the
Financial Institution and then my ID and Password and new IRA account
number and connected and downloaded transactions. Voila, the account
is setup. But the account details say 'Account type: Invest' and Tax-
deferred: No'. I can change the Tax-deferred to Yes but I can't change
the Account Type to IRA. Somewhere I had seen that in setting up a new
Investing account you had to choose between Standard Brokerage, IRA or
Keogh, 401(k) or 403(b), and Single Mutual Fund. Also, I have another
IRA account whose details have 'Account Type: IRA' and 'Tax-deferred:
Yes' by default (greyed-out, can't change). I didn't see those choices
when setting up this new account and now I can't find them again.
Would I be safe in deleting this new account and starting over. Is
there something I need to do to make sure it is and IRA type account?

You should be able to convert the account.
Open the account in Summary View.
Look for the Account Attributes section
Look for "Convert to a 401k or IRA?" - under Account Type in blue
lettering.
Click on this link to get the option to convert.

I don't see Account Type in blue lettering in Account Attributes.

The option is only available when the account is "tax deferred".
