Reinv Gain from 2003 shows now as gain in IRA - M2004

#4 04-05-2006, 06:24 PM

I could delete all the register info ( and have done so for other funds in the past), but was wondering if others have the issue.
I 'm thinking that there's gotta be a fix other than always deleting historical info . And on other funds ( in taxable accounts)
"the math works" - shows as no gain. So what's different in tax-deferred ?

So everyone else just deletes the history too ?

Not the pro here but did you go to the "work with investments" and
delete all traces of the old investment? All you care about is the
6,000 that should be in your Cash account for that IRA investment.
That 250 Capital gain does not mean a thing to you ... you paid 5,000
and sold for 6,000. Then you bought a 1,000 worth of xyz so 5,000
should be reflected as being in your Cash account.

You can not make this happen?

I'm REBUYING a mutual fund in an IRA that I owned years ago.
I previously sold it all in 2003 and not problem until I just
entered my new purchase info - I'll use simple numbers :

In jan 2000 I bought $5000 of xyz - in
Dec 2000 it had reinv LT CapGain of $250
I sold it for $6000 in 2001 - OK.

Today I bought $1000.of it
I enter the info in my register and the gain column shows a GAIN of $250 .
The cost is $1000 the value is $1000 = no gain .
The $250 is the ReINV LTCapGain from years past.
I would like the GAIN column to reflect the current purchase not historical info.
I 've tried manually playing with the register entry dates -
I've deleted and retyped the old info.
I use Actual Cost Basis. ( thanks to Cal from an earlier question), but when I manually re-did the entries it wouldn't prompt me
for tax lots - probably since this is an IRA account. Right-click does not give a LOTS option as it does in my non-ira accounts
Other than deleting the old entries , how to get around this ?
