Transfer Shares Between Investments Dialog

 

Use this dialog to transfer shares from one investment to another in a tax-free manner.  This dialog will record a single Transfer Out transaction in the "Source" investment, and one or more Transfer In transactions in the "Destination" investment.  There will be one Transfer In transaction for each lot transferred, to maintain the original tax cost basis value and date.

 

This dialog is available from the Edit / Transfer Between... menu command under the Graphs window.  It is also available at Edit / Investment Data / Transfer Between... in the Portfolio Editor window, or by right clicking on any investment and choosing the Investment Data / Transfer Between... popup menu command.  The following fields are contained in this dialog:

 

Transfer Information:

 

Date

The date the shares were transferred

Market Value

The value of the transferred shares

Accounting Method

The accounting method to use when determining which shares are transferred from the "Source" investment.  The accounting method determines which shares have already been sold.  Un-sold shares are transferred out using a first in first out method.  The transferred out shares determine the tax cost basis value and date and also the out of pocket (OOP) cost for the transferred in shares.  The total transferred out tax and OOP basis is equal to the total transferred in tax and OOP basis.

Note on Wash Sales:  If wash sale rules are turned on it will state so in this section.  When wash sale rules are on, any associated disallowed losses will be added into the basis if any of the transferred out shares were replacement shares.  See wash sales for more information.
