How to Connect FMB for Tax Reporting

FMB-specific considerations

• Monitor FMB balances, merchant-level spending, recurring bills, direct deposits, and transfer activity in one Clarity dashboard so you can review FMB with real trend lines, balances, and history instead of checking FMB in isolation or rebuilding the same context each week.
• Compare FMB with brokerage accounts, crypto balances, liabilities, and total net worth, which makes it easier to explain whether activity from FMB changed liquidity, diversification, or total net worth across your broader financial picture.
• Use Clarity as a FMB spending tracker that turns raw FMB updates into a repeatable workflow for weekly cash flow reviews and month-end budget checkups, rather than a one-off snapshot that is forgotten after a quick check.
• Keep FMB visible next to the rest of your household finances so large changes from FMB are easier to understand during weekly reviews, month-end reconciliation, and forward planning without reconstructing the timeline from memory.
• Tie FMB activity to budgeting reviews, subscription cleanup, and recurring expense decisions, which helps convert monitoring into clear follow-up actions whenever FMB starts moving in a way that deserves attention, explanation, escalation, or review.
