How many of you purchase app such as Tradelog to generate wash sale amount for trades across a client's different accounts?
I know Tradelog charges annual fee and per order fee.
How do you charge your client for doing this?
Do you use app to generate wash sale for all clients with multiple stock brokerage accounts or manually go over the stock transaction lists for those with limited transactions?
Thanks!

I looked at the Tradelog website. You need to figure out if it is worth it to have the pro account. The clients I have with multiple accounts tend to have stocks in one and bonds in another, for instance. So I wouldn’t go for it myself. However, if you have a handful of clients for whom it is essential, I imagine you would want to price the fee at a level that makes having their own account uneconomic. I’m on my cellphone so I don’t have easy access to their website, but I doubt you’d want any fewer than five clients on this.

As I recall, all plans come with one “free” tax ID. If I were you, I’d reserve that for myself and charge a portion of full price to the clients. Precisely how you do that will depend on how you bill. I charge by the hour but if I needed specialist software for a few clients, I’d be inclined to charge a small annual fee for access.
