Dissolving an Investment Club
Our small club has decided it's time to disband. I just
renewed our Bivio subscription so that I can have it for
doing 2017 tax returns & K-1 forms.

Does anyone have any advice on regulations regarding
dissolving our club? We're a partnership and I'm not sure
the best way to end the partnership.

What are the possible tax implications to the individual
members as we sell all of our stocks?

Thanks for any advice you can give me.
Don't sell all of your stocks. Have each member open a broker account if they don't have one and transfer shares of stock. Sell enough stock to have enough cash to pay the members the residual amount owed to them. When the members receive their stock they have the decision on whether to sell them themselves or keep them.

My two cents worth:

Calculate your projected realized gains if you were to sell all of your stocks. Then figure out how much that is per member.
Only go through the exercise of requiring everyone to open a brokerage account and transferring stocks if the gain is more than each of your members wants to realize in a single year (specifically this year)

That is good advice Linda. Transferring stocks correctly can get complicated.

You don't want to transfer any shares in which you currently have a loss either.

If you do have some of those, you should sell them to recognize the loss. Once you do that, you'd also have losses that would offset some of the gains from selling other stocks.
