you are so right....bivio is correct, also the selling price is correct. we certainly will use the bivio price for the taxes. being new to bivio we wanted to make sure everything was balanced, but i see now that it doesn't matter in this instance. i can just put a note on the audit sheet. it sure took me long enough to catch on. i really appreciate your efforts and your patience. thanks again, marilyn From: Laurie Frederiksen <laurie@bivio.biz> To: The Club Cafe <club_cafe@bivio.com> Sent: Sat, February 13, 2010 3:53:24 PM Subject: RE: club_cafe: SYNC INCORRECT Hi Marilyn,
I'm confused a bit.
The price bivio is using is correct. Your broker has said their price is incorrect. Why would you want to change the bivio records to an incorrect number to do taxes?

Hi Marilyn,
It's no problem. I think people don't realize that sometimes their brokerage information can be incorrect. As long as you research the subject and figure out a valid reason for the difference, you will not go wrong using the correct numbers rather than the numbers they give you.
That is just what you did so you've done exactly the right thing. Your club is lucky to have such a conscientious treasurer.

i sure have learned a lot in a few days. we have 2 more small items to deal with and then we will be finished with taxes. our club has been in existence for at least 25 years, keeping records manually until around 1995. we then transferred to Iclub accounting system. Through the years treasurers had been carrying a cash mistake of over $2000.00. they think it happened in the transfer to Iclub. When i came on board i found Bivio. The change-over was fast and easy as the equities were the same. we wanted to balance our cash account, and chose to use the dollar amount we had on hand. I then did a journal entry of $2260.13 and posted it to "broker expense". We don't know if this originated from transposed numbers, or double
entries but all members wanted it fixed. This is probably not the correct place to put the entry, as it is showing up as a deduction on the 1065, and K-1's. Where should this go? also, we need to change the TMP on the 1065. I am moving out of town and Beatrice Binsky will take responsibility for the tax information. We are co-treasurers and she is doing the 1065 and the K-1's. We can make the change if we know where to make them. Thanks for all your assistance, Marilyn

Has anyone given an answer on this? I have the same problem and would like to correct an ongoing discrepancy we have never been able to figure out. I also could find no answer in Bivio.

We determined that the market value the club had received from the broker was wrong. There are many reasons for discrepancies between brokerage records and bivio records. We'd be glad to help you figure yours out if you email us at support@bivio.com Laurie Frederiksen |
