I fail to see how the split would have any effect on your taxes
It's all in how you report the initial purchase price, Of course you have to spend a lot of time peeking out the window looking for the IRS auditor. ;)

Steven if you bought 100 Dell shares at 50, the stock then runs to 80 and splits, you can sell 50 shares at 40 for a $10 capital loss and still hold half of your original purchase.
