New Features Help Investors Estimate, Plan, and Manage Tax Obligations
GREENWICH, Conn.--BUSINESS WIRE--
Interactive Brokers (Nasdaq: IBKR), an automated global electronic broker, has introduced enhancements to its professional tax planning toolkit with the launch of TaxPlanner, available through PortfolioAnalyst. Its new capabilities complement existing tax-lot matching and tax loss harvesting features, giving investors greater control over the tax implications of their investment activity.
With Tax Planner, users create personal tax profiles from inputs such as income from other sources, deductions, withholdings, and tax rates. Tax Planner uses the tax profile as well as activities from their Interactive Brokers accounts to help estimate tax bills and assist with tax planning throughout the year. Tax Planner is available through PortfolioAnalyst, Interactive Brokers’ comprehensive and free portfolio management solution. PortfolioAnalyst consolidates accounts across financial institutions, tracks account performance and activity, and provides a broad set of tools for analyzing an entire portfolio and planning for the future. In addition to Tax Planner, PortfolioAnalyst also includes Allocation Goals to monitor portfolio allocations, the Retirement Planner to build a personalized retirement plan, and the Budgeting Tool to create monthly and annual budgets. With PortfolioAnalyst, investors can easily develop an integrated investment and financial management plan.
“Our mission is to equip clients with tools that make managing investment performance, including tax outcomes, more efficient while maintaining the low costs and global market access that sets Interactive Brokers apart,” said Milan Galik, Chief Executive Officer at Interactive Brokers. “The new Tax Planner gives investors a higher degree of oversight over the tax implications of their trades.”
In addition to Tax Planner, Interactive Brokers continues to offer a suite of tax optimization tools, including tools that help clients identify losses across portfolios and match closing trades with specific lots post- or pre-trade. These features assist with tax loss harvesting by helping investors manage capital gains and losses.
