Tax Loss Harvesting Settings

The Tax Loss Harvesting Settings allow you to provide thresholds for tax loss harvesting rebalance activity. These thresholds tell Tamarac Trading the amount of loss you'll accept before selling that security in a tax loss harvesting rebalance.

The following fields are available: 

If both of these thresholds are reached and you perform a Tax Loss Harvesting Rebalance or Tax Loss Harvesting & Rebalance, Tamarac Trading will recommend a sell during these rebalances. The resulting sell recommendation, to either sell the entire position or only sell lots with losses, is dependent on your Tax Loss Rebalance Settings, as set on the Rebalancing System Settings page.

You have a client account where the tax loss harvesting thresholds are 15% and $5,000.

Your client holds ABC at a loss of 20% of the security's value, but because the client doesn't have many shares of ABC, the total loss held in ABC comes to $1,000. Because this doesn't meet threshold settings in that client's account, ABC will not be sold in a tax loss harvesting rebalance.
