Product Improvements
401(k) to IRA Rollover: You can now illustrate rolling 401(k) assets to an IRA account, and vice versa, using the Profile > Income > Distribution card. Use the "Convert/rollover" drop-down box to select the type of rollover.

After-tax 401k savings w/Roth conversion: We have added support for after-tax 401(k) contributions that are converted to Roth accounts, a strategy sometimes referred to as ‘Mega Backdoor Roth Conversions’. You can add a Savings card to reflect the after-tax 401(k) contributions and details on the type of Roth account and timing. Check our new Help Center article for more details: Adding after-tax 401(k) contributions.

Head of Household filing status: We have added the ability to select 'Head of Household' tax filing status for single clients. When selected on the Profile > Expense > Tax and Fees card, we will reflect the appropriate deduction and tax brackets in the tax calculations.

FinFolio integration: Integration with FinFolio is now available! This integration, currently in Beta mode, allows you to link account information held at FinFolio. Click here to jump right into getting your integration set up.
