It figures that I would spot this immediately *after* posting my question about documentation on Capital Gains! Very nice work!
:)
I still don't see how to apply this to shares of a listed security that
may be acquired in many separate lots over a long period of time. I get
that I probably need a cost account for each security, I guess that at
the time of sale I need to manually calculate the basis and transfer
that amount from the cost account to somewhere else (income account for
realized gains?) along with the proceeds of the sale?
I'm guessing that this is what Derek was responding to in your other message. Apparently, it has to be done manually.
Just looking at your question, I realize there is a lot more work that needs to go into the investment docs. I'll be watching the responses people give you with baited breath.
How do I set up a report to show the proceeds and basis for each sale during a tax period?
No idea. I haven't worked with reports yet. I'm just starting out in GC like you. Anyone?
