💡 Pro Tip
All Income plan reports are shown in Today's Dollars (Real view - backs out inflation). However, in the Dashboard of the plan, users can toggle between Future Dollars (Nominal view - adjusts with inflation) or Today's Dollars. In order to have the number on the report match what the dashboard, you may need to toggle to the Real view setting (see screenshot):

Report Loading Tips
There are a few areas where download times for reports tend to be longer than usual. Here are a few tips that may help your reports load quicker:
- More than 15 Modules (checked boxes) selected on the reports. We recommend breaking them into 2 separate reports (Income Plan Summary and a Tax Plan Summary) or selecting 7-8 modules on each page to test.
- Running the Test Plan (Long Term Income Outlook/Example Income Scenarios/Example Legacy Scenarios) and/or the Tax Lab (any module on page 2) before downloading the reports if including these modules.
- When selecting the Income Setting to "How can I spend $X net of tax?".
