If I bought 50 shares of ABC for $10 each and the commision fee is $5.
The stock splited 2 for 1 so I had 100 shares (50x2=100). I sold all 100 shares at $8 each and commission fee is also $5.
How should I enter this into Turbo tax for:
# of shares (50 before split or 100 after split and at the time of selling)?
Year Acq - assume 2016
Total Proceeds: should it be $10x50+$5 = $505 or only $500 excluding the commission fee?
Total adjusted Cost base: should it be $8 x 100 + $5 = $805 or $8x100 + $5x2 = $810?
You'll need to sign in or create an account to connect with an expert.
You should report the shares after the split.
Number of shares: 100
Total proceeds: $8 x 100 - $5 = $795 (the commission was deducted from your proceeds).
Total adjusted cost basis: $5 x 100 + $5 = $505 (you paid the commission of $5 only once).
