Interactive Brokers

Interactive Brokers, a global electronic broker, has added new features to its professional tax planning toolkit. The firm launched Tax Planner, available through PortfolioAnalyst, its portfolio management platform.

According to the firm, the tool works with existing tax-lot matching and tax loss harvesting features, aiming to give investors more control over the tax impact of their investments.

PortfolioAnalyst Adds Tax and Budget Features

Tax Planner allows users to create personal tax profiles using inputs such as income from other sources, deductions, withholdings, and tax rates. The tool combines this information with account activity to estimate tax bills and support year-round tax planning.
