TSHH Time Saver & Helpful Hint
 
This week's Time Saver / Helpful Hint is:
"adjusted versus un-adjusted prices."
Someone asked why our equities prices can differ from those the data available on websites like Yahoo. The answer is that Appraise returns the unadjusted prices, as per I.R.S. Regulations, while the "free" vendors do not.

Please review our Upcoming Events section for our Holiday schedule.

Last week's Time Saver / Helpful Hint topic was:
"If I am a "Software as a Service" user, do I need to install the update? "

We instituted a complimentary webinar series to enable our subscribers to receive concise instruction on issues and ideas affecting our industry without having to leave your office.

Our next webinar: 
"Appraise v8.1 training" 
is scheduled for Wed, Jan 9 from 11:30a to 12:00p ET.

Here is a synopsis:

Appraise v8.1, the successor to Appraise v8.01 released in June, will be ready for download and installation January 2. If you are running any version of APPRAISE prior to version 8, you need to update as soon as possible, since prior versions are no longer supported. Our Software as a Service clients receive all updates automatically.
 
Version 8.1 contains a link to a third party vendor for Capital Changes and Cost Basis which was not part of version 8.01.

Please stop by our booth, #501 near the registration desk to say "hello", and see our 2019 innovative solutions:

1. Software as a Service - Estate, Gift, & Trust Tax Valuations:  allows you full access to our complete software package with one simple click of a button. The only requirements are a web browser, username, password, and download of a Citrix applet. All portfolio information is stored on your computers. There is no software installation or upgrades necessary, so you can quickly enter, process, and print portfolios as if the program existed on your desktop.  
 
2. 1040/1041 Income Allocator: is a powerful, time saving tool for professionals who prepare date of death valuations and are also responsible for preparation of a decedent's personal income tax returns and estate or trust fiduciary income tax returns. It calculates and prorates the dividends to a decedent's final income (Form 1040) and trust/estate (Form 1041) tax returns for a calendar or fiscal year. You can create a new portfolio or import an existing date of death portfolio.  
 
3. Capital Changes & Cost Basis:  Historical cost basis with tax allocation factors, corporate actions, transfer/paying agents, Cost Basis Calculator, & Reverse Family Tree. For small and mid sized tax preparation companies who are overpaying for these services, APPRAISE Plus is a pay as you go alternative which provides more information at a lower price.
