If your club is disbanding there are several things that need to be done:
-
Decide whether you are going to sell all of your stocks or
transfer them to your members. Tell your broker to sell those
investments that you plan to sell. If you are going to transfer
stocks, your members should open accounts with your club brokerage
firm.
-
If you have stocks that you are selling or have transferred that pay
dividends, wait until all the dividends are received and recorded in
your club records. This can take a couple of months.
-
Do a final reconciliation of your club records.
-
Once all entries are made and all records are reconciled, you must
enter
Member Withdrawal
transactions by using the Withdraw button
on your
Member Summary
page.
All members must be withdrawn in order to prepare a final tax return.
-
Complete the partnership tax interview. If the year is not over you
will be filing a partial year return. You will be using the previous
years tax forms but will find the link to prepare the partial year
form under the current year.
-
Download the tax forms for your club's final tax return. If all of
your members are withdrawn, bivio will mark your return as "final."
Please note that your final tax return is due on the 15th day of the
4th month following your month of termination. The IRS has not defined
the exact date of termination, but we feel you are safe in choosing
the date of the sale or transfer of your last security. If you need
to file a return before the year has ended, the short period return
will be generated on last year's tax forms with this year's data.
Club members need to save their K-1 forms to use to prepare their
individual returns when they file at the normal time after the first
of the year. They should also receive withdrawal reports which will
contain additional capital gain or loss information they need to
include on their taxes.
We cannot generate partial year returns for the state tax forms. If
your state requires them, you will have to fill in and file them
manually.
We will keep your club data around indefinitely. If you like you can
also export your club data in an open format and download the tax
forms from this and past years for your own archives.
