Get your taxes done using TurboTax

page 5 clearly indicates basis allocation to spinco  <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://investors.hpe.com/~/media/Files/H/HP-Enterprise-IR/documents/seattle-6045b-statement-26092017... cost basis and your proceeds would match basically and there is no gain.  I know both TD Ameritrade reported cost to be same as proceeds for net $0 gain on spinco which matches what is reported. Ultimately that basis moved to Micro focus. You could take no losses in any of the transactions.  Basically seattle co  became Microfocus although it was reported as a sale, you got same interest in Microfocus as you had in spinco if that makes sense.
