<OT>: To the thread: I'm probably in the same situation as some of the readers of this thread: specifically, I am sitting on beaucoup capital gains with MSFT, having purchased the stock in 1994. I am aware of a step-up in cost basis at the time of my death if the stock is passed on to my wife (the stock is in my name). But - Is anybody familiar of any other situations where a step-up in cost basis can occur? Gifting to minors? Other beneficiaries? Gifting to an irrevocable trust? Thanks very much for any information which you can provide. Regards to all MSFT Longs. JDitsworth
