What Does the Tax Budget Control?
The budget controls how much gain the Transition Tool is allowed to realize during transition-driven trades.
What the Budget Applies To
The budget applies only to:
Transition Sleeve activity
Managed Portfolio sleeve transitions
What the Budget Does NOT Control
The budget does not govern:
Trading inside model sleeves
External account activity
Gains realized outside the transition process
⚠️Important Budget Behaviors⚠️
Budget Carryforward |
Budget Exhaustion |
Year-End Handling |
Unused transition budget carries forward automatically. | Once the budget is exhausted:
| Budgets do not automatically reset at year-end. Advisors must manually update budgets if desired. |
YTD Realized Gains
Pre-generated scenarios do not account for gains already realized earlier in the calendar year. If your client has YTD realized gains that should be included in the tax budget, use a Custom scenario instead. Custom scenarios automatically incorporate YTD realized activity into the calculation.
The same logic applies when updating an existing tax budget. Any budget updates will automatically include YTD realized gains in the calculation.
