I bought CD at 20.50 a share. I recieved 1 for 4 of CD in H. I owned 200 shares of CD long term so I recieved 50 shares of H. I multiply 50 times 20.50 and get 1025. as my cost basis plus .25 of 7 cost of trade. When I went to the website recommended here, it was to me very complicated. Is there anything wrong with the way I am figuring this out for my taxes? I received 1500 today in my scottrade account so I guess I made a long term capital gain of 450.
