When updating my investment accounts after each paycheck, I have a negative cash balance in my 401k account. I have traced it down to the employer's 401k match. Does Quicken for Mac 2017 not download these purchased shares from Fidelity? If so, I would welcome any suggestions on how to enter these purchased funds.

    I believe you are correct. That is what is occurring every time I get paid. I the recurring scheduled Payment/Deposit set up under the billing tab? Sorry I am not in front on my Quicken app.

    What I do for my employer match is to have it as a part of my paycheck as two entries: 1) to record the match (recording to a category of employer match) and 2) to transfer it to the 401(k) investment account.  Assuming you contribute at least as much to fully match it is a set-it and forget it entry until your salary changes or you have special income (bonus). That's how I deal with it.
