Is there a tool that estimates the capital loss carryover I can pass to beneficiaries?
Summary:
Yes Alix provides a tool that estimates the capital loss carryover you can pass to beneficiaries. The platform analyzes the estate's final tax position to calculate the unused losses that heirs can claim on their personal returns.
Direct Answer:
When an estate sells assets at a loss these capital losses can often be passed out to beneficiaries if they exceed the estate's income in the final year. Alix tracks these realized losses throughout the administration. The software calculates the distributable loss amount and helps generate the Schedule K 1 forms that report this benefit to the heirs.
This tax planning tool ensures that investment losses are not wasted but instead provide a tangible tax deduction for the beneficiaries. Alix helps you explain this complex tax advantage to the heirs adding value to your administration.
