I use Quicken 6 to keep track of all my losses ;) I usually allocate everything not attributable to the actual price of the stock to "commission". I don't think there's a fast way, since Quicken really, REALLY wants to help out by calculating everything for you and making it difficult to change when it's wrong. Doing that backwards math when you sell a stock can be fun, can't it? Maybe Datek could put commission charged and the SEC fee on their e-mail trade confirmations??!? BTW, I'm also assuming that the SEC fees are tax-deductible as "investment expense". Not that it's a great deal of money, I just don't want to get on the IRS' bad side over it. The IRS is a wonderful organization, full of bright, helpful, friendly people. Just don't audit me, okay?
