IRA Account Advice OC 10-09-2007

Hi - Need some advice from the experts. I'm using Quicken 2004 Deluxe to
track several mutual fund accounts, primarily to take advantage of Quicken's
performance reports. I don't use it a lot and I'm not very well versed in
Quicken. I need to set up a new account involving two mutual funds, held as
a traditional IRA. Does it matter if I set it up using the IRA option for
the new account, or just set it up as mutual fund accounts and mark them as
tax-free? Any particular benefits to one of these choices? There's a
possibility I will broaden the IRA to include a third mutual fund. Does that
affect the decision which way to set it up? Thanks very much for your help,
OC

I would set it up as an IRA. Depending how you use Quicken, doing so in
this manner might help you when you do your taxes.
