Scivantage Maxit®

Automated Cost Basis, Tax Management and Portfolio Reporting Solution

Scivantage Maxit

In just a short time, brokerage firms and mutual fund companies will be required to track and report adjusted cost basis to both their clients and the IRS. Doing so will require major system upgrades to support corporate action adjustments, wash sale treatments and proper lot relief methodologies. Failure to properly address even a single component of cost basis could result in significant penalties and disgruntled clients.  Is your firm ready to comply?

Scivantage Maxit® provides real-time cost basis and tax-based investment decision support to help financial advisors and individual investors minimize tax liabilities and increase after-tax performance. Developed by experts in the tax compliance and cost basis software field, Maxit is the most comprehensive, automated cost basis and portfolio tax reporting system available—delivering a full range of tools designed to help clients track capital gains, generate IRS Schedule D for tax filing and improve investment tax decisions.
