Man, I'm having all kinds of issues. :p
Ok, so I'm using the 401(k) Manager to enter in the information from the
401(k) I got from Paychex. However, the numbers aren't quite adding up. I
enter the data into the manager exactly as it appears on my statement
however, when I go to, say, the 'Investment Transactions' account register,
the value in the price column, for the transaction just added, doesn't match
the price I entered in the manager. For example, one of the stocks in my
fund is FMCAX. When in the manager, I entered the price from the
statement -- 23.81. However, in the 'Investment Transactions' account
register, for the transaction dated the same as what I entered as the
statement date, it's showing as having a price of 26.58. Why is the price
different?
The above kind of segues into my next issue/question. After finishing the
401(k) manager wizard, I see an entry in the 'Cash Transactions' account
register labeled "Account Adjustment". Additionally, it, along with all the
prior contribution entries (which are coming from my paycheck) are marked as
reconciled. So far so good. However, the value in the adjustment's payment
column is simply the sum of all the preceeding contributions/deposits. The
payment value doesn't match the total specified in my 401(k) statement.
According to my 401(k) statement, my contributions are 94% of what Money is
recording as the adjustment. Why is it that, after entering the data
exactly as it appears in my statements, there is such a discrepancy? The
price is different (as per my first issue above) and the adjustment against
my cash transactions is different as well. This doesn't seem to make any
sense. What's going on?
thnx,
Christoph
