摘要

Without fail, every April the mad rush to tie up all of the loose ends on a tax return comes. All of the details are complete to submit the tax returns, except the ever-elusive cost basis on investment sold in the previous year.rnWhat happens next? A vicious cycle begins: the CPA requests information from the investor, the investor looks to the investment advisor, the investment advisor then looks to the investment company (brokerage, mutual fund, etc.). This process can be time consuming and in many cases requires additional research from the investment advisor and the investor.rnFor now, it is ultimately the investor's responsibility to keep track of each of their investments' cost basis. All transaction confirmations and year-end account statements should be maintained for the life of the investment to determine cost basis. In order to accurately track cost basis an investor will need to choose an accounting method, understand tax implications of wash sales and short sale rules and other complex rules related to their investments. How should investments acquired as gifts or through inheritance be handled? Does the average investor have the necessary knowledge to accurately track basis? In my experience the answer is no.
