Introduction

Applies to:
✔ Dynamic ✔ PDF Mobile

✔ Client Portal

 

The Income and Expenses report provides a consolidated view of income and expenses for your client portfolios at the account, group, and account set level. Income displayed includes dividends, interest, long- and short-term gains, returns of principal, and more.

This report is particularly useful during tax season. It can be used in comparison with a Form 1099 to confirm the amount of taxable income to be reported.

TIP

When viewing the dynamic report, click the links on the report to view more information in taxable income.

Note

The Income and Expenses report lists income for the year in which it is taxable. Tamarac uses the portfolio accounting system's data to identify whether income is taxable in the year it is paid or in the previous year.

Example

A dividend was taxable in 2015 but it paid on 1/7/2016. It will be listed on the Income and Expenses report for 2015, not 2016.

Why Use the Income and Expenses Report?

In the Income and Expenses report, you will find options that let you answer many income and expense-related questions about accounts and groups, such as:

Example 1

As tax season approaches, Advisor Kelly is providing estimated income to clients. Kelly configures the Income and Expenses report to display only taxable income for the previous year and omits expenses entirely. This provides Kelly with a view of the taxable income received.

Example 2

When it's time to review management fees, Cherry Street Financial uses the Income and Expenses report. It's configured to display only expenses, and expenses are filtered to show only management fees. This provides a thorough accounting of all management fees charged to the group without any extraneous fees or income.
