This assumes you are in the US; rules differ for Canada:

In the details for the investment, change the CostBasis field to
ActualCostBasis.

You may have to re-do the sell(s) you did already. Maybe void and
then un-void.

I'm using Microsoft Money Plus.

I'm having an issue with the capital gains tax reporting. Essentially, I
sold shares of a mutual fund to take a tax loss. I did not sell all of the
shares, only the shares ( (purchased at certain dates and prices) that would
yield a loss when sold. I specifically designated these shares in the
transaction when I allocated the lots.

However, the capital gains tax report is incorrect. It shows a gain. I can
tell exactly what the program is doing. Even though I designated which lots
to sell, the program is using my average cost basis when computing my
gain/loss in the capital gains tax report.

Obviously, I would like the program to track the shares as I designated
them. I suppose I could make a note in my tax files with the correct
information, but I would like the program to do what it's supposed to do.

Is there a way I can fix this? Cal Learner?

Thanks,
Frugal
