Tax Reporting

Tax preparation is an important aspect of managing a domestic fund. Unkar Systems has extensive experience in this area and has produced finished tax reports for some of the largest domestic funds in the US. In contrast to the typical situation where investors K-1s are produced in late March or early April Unkar Systems can produce investor K-1s promptly after the close of the year or completion of the your annual audit.

Unkar Systems can produce Federal and Multi State partnership tax returns. We are able to produce PDF partnership and K-1s on official government forms. We have the flexibility to customize the footnotes and add additional letters or forms. We also have the capability to file the partnership Federal and State returns electronically.

Unkar Systems also has the ability to produce interim or estimate K-1 reports. The estimate reports can be valuable for fund-of-funds that typically receive underlying K-1 investment data after the individual tax submission deadline and funds that anticipate large gains giving their investors an estimate before the final filing.

Broker Dealer Reporting

Our software contains a sophisticated module that calculates commissions or sales fees due to sales agents at multiple levels. This module, which was originally developed for a public fund with thousands of investors, will calculate and report on amounts due at various levels from the broker dealer down to the individual salesman. The system will calculate payments due to wholesalers and will even allow multiple salesmen to share the sales payout on a single client. Reports on fees, commissions, additions and redemptions can be generated at any level.

The sales tracking system accommodates a variety of payout structures. These include front end loads, percentages based on trading commissions, manager fees, management company fees, other fees along with Blue Sky reports. Fee payments can vary by sales representative, by individual client, or by state and may be delayed until after a specific amount of time has passed.
