# Does CounselPro handle retirement accounts like IRAs and 401(k)s?

> CounselPro reads retirement accounts like IRAs and 401(k)s the same way as other brokerage accounts, and labels each account Investment or Retirement.

Yes. A retirement account statement, like an IRA or a 401(k), goes through the same brokerage reading as any other investment account. You get the same [holdings](https://www.counselpro.ai/docs/see-investment-holdings), [activity](https://www.counselpro.ai/docs/trace-securities-trades-and-dividends), and [realized gains](https://www.counselpro.ai/docs/find-realized-capital-gains) views.

## How does CounselPro tell them apart?

By a label on each account. In the Portfolio tab, the **Account Type** column and badge read either **Investment** or **Retirement**, so you can tell at a glance which is which and filter to one or the other.

Beyond that label, the two are read and checked the same way. The holdings, the activity, the realized gains, and the [validation](https://www.counselpro.ai/docs/validated-or-needs-review-brokerage) all work identically whether an account is a taxable brokerage account or a retirement account.

> **Note:** CounselPro reads what the retirement statement shows: positions, trades, and totals. It does not add retirement-specific tax handling like contribution limits or required distributions. Those are yours to apply on top of the figures.

So an IRA or 401(k) statement gives you the same clear picture of what the client holds and what moved, tagged as a retirement account so it never gets confused with a taxable one.
