California HSA capital gains & 1099: "I transferred a form 1099 for health equity from 2016 but not 2017" health equity is not showing capital gains info in any form.

In California you need to declare dividends and capital gains of investments on HSA accounts.

Calculating dividends is pretty easy. The problem is calculating the capital gains of sold investments: HealthEquity (HE) does not report cost basis of sales...I don't know which stocks were sold?? Is it my responsibility to maintain a spreadsheet and calculate this myself according to whichever method I prefer (first in first out/first in last out)...this doesn't really makes sense: it seems like HE should get this information to me.

Just spent half an hour just to be told that they are not tax accountants. To which I replied that they are my financial institution and they should report this info to their customers...
