Tax year 2011: Find and fix errors faster.

Wash Sale calculation review... After 10 years, the IRS has always accepted TAPro reports. Do you want to become a wash sales expert or do you need an accurate report that has always been accepted? If you need help testing we have hundreds of test cases, contact us. If you need to check wash sale calculations, download the free version of TAPro import your data and run a report - done, resume trading.

New Cost Basis rules affect all brokerages... This change means your brokerage is attempting to automatically match your trades, calculate wash sales and generate a 1099 report for your account. One reporting error can cost you thousands of dollars! Using TAPro, errors are uncovered leading to accuracy in reporting.

Corporate Actions... Few account holders realize that back office handling of their data is hard work managed by several entities. Did you know that after your trades are executed they are imported from exchanges to clearing operations for settlement, then to back office operations and finally to reporting systems? Are you monitoring your accounts for accuracy?

Used by traders and tax advisers, trusted by brokerages; clearing firm certified.

A 1099 wake up call... Our founder created TAPro after a leading brokerage incorrectly documented trades and submitted an incorrect 1099 to the IRS. This brokerage has over 4 million accounts and could not easily provide the data found in the 1099 or a tool to reconcile trading history. Our founder created TAPro to find and fix the errors.

Option Symbology changes caused data errors... For options traders, 2010 reporting was more painful because all brokerages were required to change options symbology. This introduced new errors in reporting. One options reporting error can cost you thousands of dollars! Using TAPro, errors are uncovered leading to accuracy in reporting.

Most data requires some reconciliation. For example, make sure to enter open trades from a prior year. Visit FAQ and Answers for solutions to typical data puzzles. TAPro has more tools and filters than any similar product.

TAPro Account Setup

TAPro is able to import .QIF, .QFX (Quicken Data) .OFX (Money Data), .CSV (Excel), .TXT (Notepad) and Sync import from a list of brokerages. See the trial version for additional brokerage names.

For 10 years active traders and leading tax professionals have placed trust in TAPro to simplify managing multiple accounts, manage options exercise/assign/expire, apply splits, reconcile trades and correctly generate gain/loss reports or a .TXF file for Tax Software. Some have used TAPro to find Form 1099 data errors worth $1,000s. Some Form 1099 and Schedule D errors are as large as $200K. This is part of our founder's story and a reason TAPro was created.

Reconcile and report better results.

You can import data for multiple years and multiple brokerages, then set a data range with a mouse click to report one tax year. Enter trades in any order and TAPro will instantly create tax lots (using FIFO) if the opening trades are before the closing trades.

You can use the Groups/Display View = Change Groups to create manual grouping at any time with mouse clicks. Or change Long trades into Short trades to fix data issues from the Transactions/Display View = Positions - Reconciliation using right mouse while focused on the trade.

You can edit a trade with a double click and modify the Cost Basis. TAPro includes a reconciliation wizard and tools for Short Sale, Options (close hundreds at a time), Market to Market, Corporate Actions and more.
