I just tried it. While I thought I had actual cost basis selected,
at some point it turned out to be set for average. I set it to
actual, and reallocated.

It worked. Perhaps if you void each sell. Then un-void the earliest
and right click to Reallocate. Then in turn un-void and Reallocate
each sell.

And re-confirm that "Actual Cost Basis" is still selected.

My question relates to the U.S. version of MS Money 2004
Premium. I have chosen "Actual Cost Basis" in the
investment details. However, the Capital Gains Reports
don't seem to adjust the basis for the annual mutual fund
distributions! Any way to get MS Money to provide the
correct basis info, without resorting to GainsKeeper?

Thanks,
DJ

What country?
What version?
What Cost Basis information is selected in the investment details?

Default Mutual Fund Basis (Help!)

Yes, it's tax time again! I sold some mutual fund shares,
and I'd like to calculate their tax basis given that I've
reinvested dividend distributions over the years. I would
like to use the "Actual Cost Basis" method, and have
specified this for the investment. However, how can I get
Money to show me the adjusted basis + real gain/loss that
I can use for tax purposes? The standard capital gains
reports doesn't seem to factor the distributions in
calculating the gain / loss.

Ideally, I'd rather not use Gainskeeper, since I'd like
this info to be archived in the money data file,
Gainskeeper seems like overkill, and who knows how long
that service will be around. Is this possible to do this
in MS Money?

Thanks,
DJ
