Get your taxes done using TurboTax
ok I was wondering if it was falling into some deminimus rule and the cost basis being adjusted to par, but it's too much AMD for that. By original cost I just meant your cost in the secondary market but the price is enough info. I had Notes with similar holding period at Merrill reported as short term on 1099-B with my original cost and AMD. Can't think of a reason for the cost to be reported at par if it's not reported elsewhere, suggest asking the tax reporting people at your brokerage to explain it.
If it's incorrect I suppose the fix is to change the cost basis on the 1099-B to the correct amount.
btw are you aware of the state tax issue in TT, that AMD posted to Schedule B from 1099-B adjustments do not flow to state taxes as a subtraction/exemption (there is nowhere to indicate the AMD is from a Treasury). There is some ambiguity on state exemption for this type of income depending on state tax code, but TT doesn't support it either way. If it's exempt in your state (can't advise) the only solution I've seen in the many threads on this topic is to make a miscellaneous/additional subtraction to state tax which in some states has precluded e-file (NY I think).
Not a CPA/Expert so not sure all the implications of the above and maybe others will weigh in, but hope this helped.
