Retirement tax questions

Thanks for your response.  They did not deplete the units, that probably would have been a lot easier to deal with.  They are wanting us to adjust our cost basis when they sell units of SLV/GLD.  I believe I found the correct way to deal with it (link below)... it is rather lengthy, so i'm just planning to take a short term gain for these fees.

Long story short, will never hold these type of trusts again in a taxable account, not worth the trouble.
