Here is a tax question that I need an answer to quickly so that I can make some decisions about year-end taxes. I had bought some stock 10 years ago which has since split. What do I use as the cost basis for the split shares that I sold--the original cost or the market value of the stock at the time of the split? Thanks in advance for anyone who can help. Bob MOrris

colin, important consider: take profit this year to reduce you agi income so u may qulify for Roth next year.

what is so special about July 29th? did u mean 97 or 87?

assuming i m in the highest bracket then

0-12 mon. = oridnary income? state and fed tax?
12=18 month = long term cap gain @28% ? i.e. no state tax etc.
18+ month after may7th = 20%?

are these correct assumptions?

thanks in advance.
