TaxLotPilot

TaxLotPilot is a mobile + web app that connects read-only to your brokerage accounts and simulates the tax impact of selling specific tax lots before you place a trade. Most broker UIs bury lot selection and don’t clearly show after-tax outcomes, so investors accidentally trigger avoidable gains. The app pulls holdings, cost basis, and holding periods, then lets you model scenarios like “raise $5,000 cash,” “reduce concentration,” or “harvest losses,” and outputs the lowest-tax set of lots to sell. It generates a step-by-step “sell instructions” sheet (exact lots, quantities, and order type) you can follow inside your broker. It also flags wash-sale risk across accounts and suggests timing alternatives. This is not a trading app; it’s an execution companion focused on after-tax decisions and reducing costly mistakes.
