Tax Loss Harvesting

The Tax Loss Harvesting report shows your investments with unrealized losses at the lot level, so you can identify positions whose sale might help reduce taxes owed. The report runs as of a specific date and updates automatically as prices and holdings change.

Access the report

Choose Reports > Tax > Tax Loss Harvesting from the top menu bar. You can also open it from the Reports tab, under Tax in the report category list, or from Recently Opened if you've viewed it before.

Understand the report window

The report header shows the date and filter scope you're viewing, for example As of Today: 8/25/2026 and All Accounts, All Securities. Use the toolbar to Save, Edit, Duplicate, Print, or Export the report.

If no holdings match your current filters, the report displays the message There are no holdings to report for the selected accounts and filter.

Filter the report

Click Edit to open the Edit Report dialog and adjust these settings.

Set the as-of date

Use the As of menu to choose the date you want to view tax-loss harvesting opportunities for. Options include Today, End of Last Week, End of Last Month, End of Last Quarter, End of Last Year, or Custom Date, where you enter your own date. The report shows investments with unrealized losses as of that date, so you can identify which positions might reduce the taxes you owe if sold.
