How do I add my retirement accounts (IRA, 401k, Roth IRA) to PortfolioPilot?
You can add your retirement accounts in several ways - whichever works best for your brokerage:
Option 1 - Connect your brokerage directly (recommended)
- Click "Add an asset" (top right) → Securities → search for your brokerage (12,000+ supported)
- Connect through our trusted partners: Plaid, SnapTrade, or Yodlee
- Once connected, click the edit (pencil) icon on the account → set Tax Treatment to "Tax-Advantaged" (IRA/401k) or "Tax-Free" (Roth IRA)
Option 2 - Upload a statement or screenshot
- Click "Upload anything" (top right) → "Create a new portfolio"
- Upload your brokerage statement (PDF, CSV, spreadsheet, or screenshot)
- Our AI will extract the holdings automatically
Option 3 - Copy/paste your holdings
- Click "Add an asset" → Securities → "Enter or copy/paste securities"
- Copy your holdings from your brokerage website and paste them into the input box
- Set the Account nickname, Account type, and Tax Treatment → Save
Correctly marking your accounts as Tax-Advantaged or Tax-Free is important - it helps PortfolioPilot provide accurate tax optimization recommendations and retirement projections.
