Building ibkr-ir for Brazilian Global Investors
I use IBKR (Interactive Brokers) for investing on the global stock market. If you're Brazilian, you know we need to report all our wealth to the State via IR (Imposto de Renda). That means next year I need to inform my positions and gains from the global market in a long form, which is a very exciting activity! (Irony intended.)
I searched for a system or tool that could help with that. I found a paid one, but it would require entering all my transactions manually. Not worth it.
No problem, I can easily create my own tool. In a few minutes I created ibkr-ir with AI. It automatically generates a report with all the necessary values to fill the form, and the input is a simple exported CSV file that IBKR provides.
I ran some tests and it worked well. If you are Brazilian and use IBKR for investing, give it a try! It's open source, the code runs 100% offline, and even if you are not a programmer, it's easy to test. Check the README for instructions.
That's it. Just a quick project checkpoint. See you next time!
