This report can be created by selecting the Reports / Capital Gains - Specific Lot... command from within any window.
This report is designed to aid in filing a capital gains (schedule D) tax form. All redemptions must be fully specified for an investment before using this report. If an investment has not been fully specified the cost basis and gain will be reported as "N/A". To fully specify an investment use the Specify Lots Dialog. The following columns are displayed for this report type:
|
Shares |
The number of shares redeemed. |
|
Bought |
The date range over which redeemed shares were acquired. |
|
Sold |
The date of the sell transaction. |
|
Term |
Long, Medium, or Short term gains, as defined under the Report Preferences - Capital Gains Dialog |
|
Sell Value |
The amount received for shares redeemed minus sell commission/load. |
|
Cost Basis |
The amount initially spent to obtain redeemed shares, including purchase commission/load. The specific lot accounting method is used to calculate the cost basis. For other cost basis types see the Capital Gains - FIFO or Capital Gains - AVG reports. |
|
Gain/Loss |
The capital gain incurred for this sell transaction. |
The sorting order of long, medium, and short term gains and whether or not to apply wash sale rules can be controlled under the Report Preferences - Capital Gains Dialog. Along the bottom of the report, sub-totals for short, medium, and long term gains, as well as the overall totals, are displayed. Sum totals for the Sell Value, Cost Basis, and Gain/Loss are shown.
Tip: At tax time you can export your capital gain data to a TXF file for easy importing into tax preparation software.
