Yes, but not until April 15. By Oct 31 you'll have the answer direct from the horse's mouth. Why all this renting of garments now. Chill.

Whether the best approach or not, my accountant just told me to use a zero basis for the spinoff and keep the same basis in the original stock. Makes sense to me from several angles, keeps the math easy and considering my small number of shares probably wont be off more than pennies, if any, compared to the hoops everyone else seems to be jumping through.
