Spin-off

[ Message Board ] [ Archives ] [ Search ]

Having a hard time with the separation of Viacom Corp. Class B into CBS Corp. and Viacom Corp. Class B New. I purchased three different lots at three different times of old Viacom. When I enter the spin-off of old Viacom into the new stocks, FM don’t keep the old purchase dates causing the lose of long-term and short-term gain/ loss tracking. In addition, FM doesn’t remove the shares for old Viacom nor does it remove the cost but treats the separation as a ROC. Thus I end up having a real mess for the value and cost of the portfolio both historically and going forward.

If I enter CBS & Viacom - New as purchases using the original dates from when I purchased old Viacom, my historical reports and IRS Sch. D are wrong

I am using FM – Personal Version

Help!!!
