: As you know, one can contribute appreciated shares and get an immediate deduction for
: the full current value of the appreciated shares thus avoiding capital gains altogether.

: How do I capture this transaction? i.e. how do I capture a redemption. Shall I enter the
: redemption price as the same as the purchase price plus commisions, i.e. force it,
: or is there another way?

Hi David,
You could record it as you suggest, equal to your cost basis. There is
no special provision for such a situation.

Thanks,
Mark
