Multiple investment accounts on paycheck

Robert Armani

I have two investment accounts on my paycheck, 401(k) and 457(b). However, the paycheck entry only has an option for one. Is there a workaround to enter the second one?

Thanks!

Hi @Robert Armani,

Thank you for sharing your question with us — we’re happy to help!

Yes, there is a way to add a second deposit account to your paycheck entry. You can do this by editing the reminder itself. Here’s how:

1. Go to the Tools menu.
2. Select Manage Bills and Income Reminders.
3. Locate your paycheck in the list and select it.
4. At the bottom of the window, click Edit this instance and all future instances.
5. In the paycheck setup, scroll to the Deposit Accounts section.
6. You’ll see the option to add multiple accounts — simply add your second investment account (e.g., your 457(b)) and save your changes.

Once saved, the paycheck will correctly allocate funds into both accounts going forward.

If you have any other questions or run into anything else, feel free to let us know — we’re here to help!

Thanks, Laura. This wouldn't let me add another "Pre-tax deduction"(401k, 457b, etc). Since there's already one in the paystub, it wouldn't let me add an additional one.

BTW, each account has its own Employer Match too.
