Bivio setup - Member Earnings Allocated
I am trying to set up Bivio for a club that has been in
existence for a while. Our treasurer has used a custom
system he designed using spreadsheets. We are using a
switchovr date of January 1, 2009 and I am trying to figure
out how to set up member initial balances. We know how much
each member has paid in, the number of units each member
owns, and the current value per unit. We don't really have
detailed records on Earnings Allocated ( actually for most
members at this point, it would be losses allocated). Is
there any way I can fill out the member initial balance
screen using the data that we do have?

Thanks in advance for your help!

You need to know the earnings allocated in order to get the correct tax basis for each member. What you need to do is get copies of all of the K-1s from all of the filed tax returns as well as any partial withdrawal reports and determine the appropriate amount for each member.
