I have both a normal 401 and ROTH 401. My employer matches to both, but Quicken 2017 only seems to allow for a single match. How to I make this all work?

When employers match both Roth and Regular 401(k) they likely show only 1 match amount based on your individual contribution but the Roth and Regular accounts are separate. What is actually happening is your employer is matching/contributing to 2 separate amounts (Roth and Regular). You need to separate both your contribution to 401(k) and the employer match into Regular and Roth amounts/accounts.
There is nothing Quicken can do to determine what the split is and how much goes to each account.0 -
A regular 401(k) is pre-tax and Quicken supports the pre-tax employer match.
The Roth 401(k) is after-tax. Any employer match of a Roth 401(k) contribution should be entered as Earnings and included in the transfer to the Roth 401(k) account as an after-tax deduction.1 -
Good Catch. I missed that when I previously read this thread.Sherlock said:A regular 401(k) is pre-tax and Quicken supports the pre-tax employer match.
