Tax-loss harvesting is one of the most effective strategies for reducing investment tax liability, but executing it correctly requires careful attention to IRS wash sale rules and strategic replacement security selection. This Tax-Loss Harvesting Request Form gives financial advisors, wealth managers, and investment firms a structured way to capture client requests while ensuring compliance and optimal portfolio outcomes.

Built for financial advisors, investment managers, RIAs, and wealth management firms, this template streamlines the entire tax-loss harvesting workflow—from identifying securities for sale to selecting appropriate replacements and tracking capital loss carry-forwards. The form captures essential details about the securities to be sold, confirms understanding of wash sale restrictions, and documents the client's preferences for replacement investments.

With Paperform's conditional logic, you can show or hide specific questions based on the investor's responses—such as displaying replacement security options only when applicable, or requesting additional documentation when carry-forward losses exceed certain thresholds. The form's calculation features can help estimate potential tax savings, and the professional design ensures clients feel confident they're working with a sophisticated, compliant advisory practice.

Once submitted, connect this form to Stepper to automate your post-submission workflow: trigger portfolio reviews, send compliance check reminders to your team, update your CRM with the tax-loss harvesting request details, and create follow-up tasks for trade execution. You can also route different types of requests to different team members based on account size or complexity.

Whether you're managing individual portfolios or operating an RIA serving high-net-worth clients, this tax-loss harvesting form helps you deliver sophisticated tax-efficient investment management while maintaining clear documentation and regulatory compliance.
