Tax Loss Harvesting
Harvest capital losses to offset clients’ capital gains
IBKR’s Tax Loss Harvesting is a powerful tool that allows financial advisors to reduce their clients’ tax liabilities. The Allocation Order Tool automates this process and makes it easy for advisors to harvest losses across multiple client accounts.
Key Features and Benefits
- Identify and capture losing positions, then allocate each potential loss across your clients’ investment portfolios. You decide whether to capture all or any percentage of each position loss.
- Track progress and measure the effectiveness of client tax loss harvesting strategies with detailed reports and analytics. These reports include information on realized and unrealized gains and losses, cost-basis information, and tax savings achieved through harvesting.
- Swap out a closed position with another instrument using the "Replace with' feature. In addition to closing out losing positions to harvest losses, you can close out and swap the entire position using the Sell x% of Entire positions feature.
- Uncheck any account to leave positions intact within that account.
Investors can also proactively manage gains and losses by changing the tax-lot matching method using the IBKR Tax Optimizer.
