Simplifying Cost Basis for
Individual Investors
At a time when cost basis will receive more scrutiny than ever
due to new regulations, NetBasis enables individual investors to calculate cost
basis easily and accurately, with the same technology the IRS used to audit
capital gains returns for its landmark 2005 Tax Gap Report.
NetBasis instantly accounts for the range of corporate actions
that can lie behind a security and make it difficult to determine cost basis.
It's the efficient alternative to wading through years' worth of brokerage
statements and other documentation to calculate the cost basis impact of
spin-offs, mergers, dividend reinvestments and other actions.
NetBasis provides investors with a variety of important
benefits, including:
-
Easier Schedule D preparation
-
Efficient access to the accurate cost basis information new regulations demand
-
Compliance with all applicable IRS rules on wash sales, short sales, gift
shares and date of death valuation
-
Enhanced gain/loss management through better-informed buying and selling
decisions
Available on a transaction or subscription basis, NetBasis
offers many features that help investors calculate
or verify cost basis, including:
-
Adjusted total and per-share cost basis
-
Adjusted number of shares
-
Accounting for systematic investments, withdrawals and dividend reinvestments
-
Support for any approach an investor can use to sell share lots, including FIFO
(first in, first out), specific lot and average cost (for mutual fund and DRiP
shares)
-
Characterization of realized gains/losses as short-term/long-term
-
Tracking of all corporate actions affecting a security
