Deductions & credits

Are you kidding me?  Thanks you so much rjs.  i cannot believe how detailed your answer was.  Believe it or not, i was thinking the exact same thing - the cash to purchase the shares was the gift, not the stock.  i cannot tell you how helpful and thorough your answer was.  Every single question answered without missing a single nuance and with clarity.   i wish i could do something for you.       God bless you and your family!!!
