Issues setting up 401k loan

muzicman61

My 401K always has a zero cash balance. But when I took out my 401K loan, I had a downloaded transaction for the sale of shares that equates to the amount of the loan. Now my account has a cash balance of $50K.

So I read an article by Sherlock on how to set up a 401K loan but it's not doing what I think it should be doing. I click on my 401K account, then click on Holdings. Clicking the gear icon under Account Attributes I selected Create New Loan. Clicked ok.

It appears to have created an asset account of 50K and a loan account of -$50K. When I entered my first paycheck with a loan payment, it added it to the 401K account as a Xin. Which only managed to increase my cash balance. It did not seem to effect the asset or loan accounts.

Maybe I don't understand how Quicken handles 401K loans but it would seem that the account balance should match what I see when I log into my account's website.

Any help on getting this correct would be appreciated.

Thanks!

I've pretty much described it as best I can. Screenshots aren't likely to help.
