Hello everyone,

As always i want to thank Martin and all community for beancount,
i am so glad that 3.5 years ago i've chosen beancount over other free 
(gnucash, etc) or paid (quickbooks, etc) alternatives. Extendability and 
flexibility of beancount are unmatched.

And as always i have couple questions :) Please help :)

1. I have single member llc (sole proprietor), when i make solo 401k 
contribution (salary deferral and profit sharing parts) effectively i 
simply transferring funds from my one account (business) to my another 
account (tax deferred),
so do i simply have following journal entry

2020-05-15 * "solo 401k contribution"
  Assets:BusinessChecking                                         - 24500 
USD
  Assets:PreTax401k:CSchwab:Cash                           24500 USD

?

(i have 2 sets of books, and for LLC "tax" books i do following journal 
entry
to make it easy for me do taxes:

2020-05-15 * "solo 401k contribution" 
  Equity:401kProfitSharing                                               
5000 USD
  Equity:401kSalaryDeferral                                           19500 
USD
  Assets:BusinessChecking                                         - 24500 
USD
here i am trying to understand what i should track for myself to make 
records useful)

2. Do i understand it right that 
- i also should create separate 401k income account 
Income:PreTax401k:CSchwab:Gains  
(separate from my regular brokerage account Income:CSchwab:Gains) 
-and that all gains / losses from this account will be ignored tax wise for 
now 
(won't be included on my 1040 until i take money from it when i am old 
person)

3. When checking Martin's example file i saw he uses "IRAUSD" currency for 
401k,
could someone explain why? What's the idea behind it? (comparing to using 
USD)

4. Any other tips / advises you can give regarding 401k books ?

Thank you
