Bob, Your cost basis is the total of what it cost you. You will use the amount you paid for the stock. When it split you paid nothing, ween it split the additional shares cost you nothing, so therefore the original cost is the tax basis. You do not get to add to the cost basis the market value at the time of the split because you did not incurr any additional cost. Your capital gain is the sale proceeds minus the cost basis. A stock split is a nontaxable event. Todd You can find the IRS on internet and download the appropiate information. Take any tax advice you receive with the appropiate caution and double check everything I stated.
