MasterPlan always allows you to separate taxable items from cash flow items. When you type something in on the Tax Data Tab, we carry the totals of corresponding lines forward to the Cash Flow Tab.
Click back and forth between the two tabs.
A glance at the rows here again illustrate MasterPlan’s flexibility. For example, there are several different ways of handling Capital Gains in MasterPlan. You can summarize them, if you wish, on the Tax and Cash Flow Form.
For example, suppose you want to handle a Capital Gain that is just on paper but does not affect cash flow. You can enter the gain for the appropriate years on the Tax Data Tab, and zero out the gain on the Cash Flow Tab. In other words, the clients owe taxes on the gain, but they don’t get any cash flow from it.
Conversely, if they receive cash flow from a source that is not taxable (such as possibly an inheritance), you don’t fill out the amount on the Tax Data Tab, but you fill out the cash flow from the item on the Cash Flow Tab.
