- In the Statement Date field, enter one of the following:
- If you're entering this information from a statement, enter the statement ending date.
- If you're entering this information from your financial institution's website, use the date the information was posted (usually today or yesterday).
In the Cash field, enter the cash balance in this account.
If your broker sweeps your cash balance into a money market fund, then the amount that is actually held in cash may be a very small amount—usually only equal to the amount of a recent dividend, security sale, or other transaction that resulted in a positive cash amount.
In the Money Market Fund field, enter the share balance for your money market fund security, if any.
Your broker may call this a sweep fund. The cash balance and the sweep fund together make up your total cash balance. For example, if you have $200 in cash and $1,200 in shares of a money market fund, your total cash balance would be $1,400.
