Thank you. I'm still confused. I have not sold any of this stock. It is SLV, a trust. On one part of the consolidated 1099-B it lists for every month (see below)
Date sold or disposed, Quantity, Proceeds, Date acquired, Cost or other basis, Additional info
01/31/19, 0.000, 0.59, N/A, Cost basis factor 0.0000414000
.
.
Later on in the 1099-B, under Fees and Expenses, it gives monthly dates
Date, Amount,
01/31/19, -0.59
.
.
For each of the months, the "cost" is exactly the inverse of the "proceeds." So the total proceed is $7.17 and the total fee is -$7.17.
I spoke with someone at TD Ameritrade who said the $7.17 was "return on capital" but that made no sense to me.
Please advise. Thank you.
