User Feedback via Email
Direct feedback received from taxpayers and tax professionals (email addresses masked for privacy).
“Great tool! I would otherwise qualify for de minimis except for stupid tiny rebalancing dispositions and one money market account that was opened and closed in the same week (why?? Argh). Your calculator saves me from paying hundreds of dollars to a tax advisor to report dispositions with gains/losses of pennies, so, thanks!”
“Thanks a lot. I appreciate you look into it and responding fast with clear explanation. Will definitely be using your calculator more and will recommend to others as well. Big thank you! Saved me from making a mistake!! Have a great weekend”
