Access an overview of every transaction conducted within your IRA.

 

In the Entrust Client Portal, the *Transactions* tab offers a detailed overview of every transaction conducted within the IRA, including contributions, withdrawals, investments, and transfers. By monitoring this tab, account holders can view real-time updates of their account activities, ensuring they are always informed about the current state of their investments.

In this article, we’ll cover step-by-step instructions and detailed information for navigating the Transactions tab in the Entrust Client Portal.

 

## Locating the Transactions Tab

1. **Navigate to the Transactions Tab**: After [logging in](https://login.theentrustgroup.com/login) to the Entrust Client Portal, click on the "Transactions" tab at the top of the page.
2. **Select the Account**: If you have multiple accounts, specify which account's transactions you want to view.
3. **View the List of Transactions**: Scroll down to see a list of transactions. Transactions are listed from the most recent to the earliest.

 

Now that you’re in the *Transactions* tab, here’s an overview of the primary information you need to know:

 

### Transaction Details

- **Transaction Type**: Describes the nature of the transaction (e.g., IRA cash transfer deposit, employee contribution, rollover contribution, purchase of asset).
- **Principal Cash**: Cash amounts that either came into or left the account. Positive amounts indicate cash added to the account, while negative amounts (in red) indicate cash leaving the account.
- **Principal Investment**: Adjustments to the value of a particular asset. Cash transactions typically show zero since cash is not considered an investment asset in this context.

### Examples of Transactions

There are multiple types of transactions you might encounter in the Transactions tab. Here are the main ones:

- **Cash Transfer Deposit**: Cash added to the account (e.g., $5 million transferred into the account).
- **Purchase of Asset**: Investment made (e.g., $150,000 invested in "Oral Drug Properties Fund II LLC").
- **Real Estate Purchase**: Purchase of real estate (e.g., $20,000 leaving the IRA for a real estate investment).
- **Income Generated from Asset**: Income received from an investment (e.g., $2,172.67 in dividends).

There are also special transaction types, including:

- **Purchase of Sweep Asset**: Internal terminology indicating a transaction where cash comes into the account.
- **Sale of Sweep Asset**: Opposite of the purchase, indicating cash leaving the account.

### Income from Assets

Income from assets will show as "Other Income Non-Taxable" followed by the asset name and the dollar amount received. The asset value itself is not adjusted.

 

Now, you can navigate and understand the *Transactions* tab to view and manage the transactions in your Entrust account.
