This week's topic is:

"The 1040-1041 Income Calculator has been released!"

Determining how much income to allocate to the 1040 and 1041, when a death is involved, entails going through 1099s and then approximating the allocation using a spreadsheet. It's even more complicated for bonds and when a fiscal year is elected. The ESI-APPRAISE 1040/1041 Income Calculator simplifies this tedious process for you.

Solution Of The Month: Cost Basis for DRiPs

"Cost Basis for Dividend Reinvestment (DRiP) Plans"

When you receive dividends through a DRIP, you then buy the applicable amount of shares based on the total amount of dividends and the stock price that day. These amounts need to be added to your cost basis to accurately reflect the true cost value of the stock owned. You also need to pay attention to whether or not the stock split at all over the time period you owned it. If it did, it would impact the total number of shares owned and the value.

ESI-APPRAISE has a quick, accurate, and economical service that does this complex calculation for you. Click HERE to see a SAMPLE REPORT .

March 26 from 11:30a-12:00p ET.
