I'll have to drag out my Schwab papers, but was thinking about stock sales... and how they are reported..
Since the 1040 just has a date & cost basis, how do you report or list multiple buys, and 1 final sale of a stock ? Single line - or - multiple lines for each lot ?
ie -
2008 - buy 100 @ $50 2009 - buy 100 @ $75 2012 - sell 200 @ $100Cost basis = $12,500 Sell = $20,000
