It happens on 12/31. Compare the tax basis for each member on 12/30 with that on 12/31.

tax basis get altered.  When I look at the tax basis on
12/31/07 and then in January, it is the same.  Do I need to
exercise some function to post the gains/losses to the
individual?

Ira,

I see it thanks. One addtional question/observation. Under
our old "club accounting", it would distrbute the
gains/losses in units and alter the unit value as well as
altering the tax basis. Bivio doesn,t seem to alter the
units or value. Do you see any imact of this difference?

If you look at the Transaction Ledger report (not
Transaction History) you can see all basis adjustments in
the "Member" column. (Note that although that report shows
some basis adjustments related to withdrawals dated Dec
31st, withdrawal basis adjustments are actually all applied
on the withdrawal date. I've got a question into bivio
support about this seeming inconsistency.)

That other club accounting software (from IClub) doesn't
"distribute" units either when you disable the appropriate
option. Ever since bivio has existed, the recommendation
has been to allocate gains/losses but *not* to also
distribute them as units and so bivio doesn't aother with
it.
