  • Skilled at working independently and collaboratively in a team environment.
  • Adaptable and proficient in learning new concepts quickly and efficiently. Accurately collaborated with tax operations team in assisting with projects quickly and timely.
  • Flexible with trainings and did my diligence in learning new task and concepts that were time sensitive.
  • Split 1099's - For the client, take any tax reporting activity that occurred after the date of death on the consolidated 1099 for an account of a client whose SSN is being used for tax reporting and move that activity to be reported under the beneficiaries' consolidated 1099. Salesforce cases are processed year-round and logged into tracking sheets. Once the tax information has been completed in the tax system for the tax year, we will process all split 1099 requests for that tax year. (This is completed during a different process.) Programs/systems utilized as follows; Communication Windows, Commands: GA and LHLD, Shared Directory, (tax season dependent), Salesforce, and Queue: Tax Ops – Account Maintenance_Written, and JonesLink: Beneficiaries Tab
  • Data Mapping (FKA Audit Regression Testing) - Data Mapping Verification is a part of our Written Supervisory Procedures (WSP). It is a review of the load of data into the Tax System by comparing the Tax Form information to Statements, Communication Windows, and against itself. Additional details on steps can be found in the Test Scripts Excel Sheet.
  • Income Reallocation (IR) - A process by which the issuer of a security (whoever/whatever a client is investing in) changes the tax characterization of distributions made during the tax year and possibly resulting in a more favorable tax treatment. Learned the declining bulk logic. When our bulks are created, we want to make absolutely sure that they grab the correct payment and also not miss any.
  • CMO's - Trained on CMO's. (Collateralized Mortgage Obligation)/Remic (Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduit) cusips that are manually processed each tax season. In addition, we also receive files electronically for the Fannie and Freddie CMO/Remic Cusips (The Fannie and Freddie CMO/Remic process is covered in detail in a separate process). that are manually processed, we have to contact the firm that holds the cusip and obtain the tax factor sheets for the entire year. Some of the firms will email us the factor sheets and others require us to go to their website and download the information. Utilized websites/programs as follows; Client Tax Reporting, Communications System Window, and Infopac reports.
