: Two companies merged. I owned one of them.

: 1. I recorded the split for additional shares.
: 2. I changed the name to the acquiring company.
: 3. I recorded the fractional share as a sell.

: How to I record the addiitonal cash per share that was received? It is less than the cost basis.

You can record this as a distributed distribution. If it is considered
taxable, record it as a dividend, if it is a return of your capital,
record it as a return of capital distribution.

Thanks,
Mark
