The Realized Gains and Losses report displays a table of gains or losses for transactions in an account or group over a specified period. The report allows you to choose columns from a variety of data points and their order in the report, as well as determine up to two levels of sorting. You can also set custom column widths for this report and preview it to determine if the data fits as expected.
The Realized Gains and Losses report is helpful for estimating a client's potential tax burden and for optimizing trading decisions based on realized gains or losses.
In the Realized Gains and Losses report, you will find versatile sorting options that let you answer many questions about accounts and groups, such as:
For this period, what is the difference between cost basis and proceeds of sales? See the realized gains or losses for the account or group for whatever date period you select.
How much in gains should the client anticipate being taxed on? Evaluate the tax implications of gains and losses both at the account level and at the group level.
When Trading, Where can I optimize for Gains or Losses? Review the current gains and losses in a client's portfolio to help make trading recommendations that reduce the client's overall tax burden.
Although the custodian is the final source of record for realized gains and losses, for tax planning purposes, Cherry Street Financial likes to provide clients or their CPAs with estimates of the gains or losses within their accounts on a regular basis.
They use a Realized Gains/Losses PDF template that shows group- and account-level data set to sort by account and then by total gain/loss. It is automatically posted to the client portal.
Before making trading recommendations, Cherry Street Financial advisors like to refer to the Realized Gains/Losses report to review the current gains or losses in a client's account. This allows the firm to minimize tax burden as much as possible and to answer the question, "Should I reconsider the funds I'm invested in based on their capital gains?"
They use a dynamic Realized Gains/Losses report sorted to display descending short term gain/loss and then sorted by account. This helps them quickly identify which accounts might benefit from tax optimization.
