Saving is a key principle. People who make a habit of saving regularly, even saving small amounts, are well on their way to success.  It’s important to open a bank or credit union account so it will be simple and easy for you to save regularly.  Then, use your savings to plan for life events and to be ready for unplanned or emergency needs.

If you contact the investor relations division on GE's website, they will provide the proper share ratios and cost basis allocations.  Once you have this information, with proper market prices on the date of the spinoff, you can enter this under the IAM Transactions Menu | Global Transactions | Spinoff function. If you have add'l questions, please contact our technical support team: techsupport@investmentaccountmanager.com

Transactions / GE Spinoff of GE Transportation

« Last post by RJANES on November 27, 2019, 11:54:18 AM »

Has anyone determined what the tax consequences of this transaction is? It appears that the spinoff is taxable to GE share holders with a reduction in GE basis. If so how should this be accounted for in IAM?

When I try to post transactions after a broker download, a window pops up requesting I open a .dbf file.  I do not know what to choose, and I am unable to post any transactions. Any suggestions?  Thanks!

Transactions / Re: Spin off with multiple tax lots

« Last post by Forum Administrator on November 21, 2019, 08:36:09 AM »

When adding multiple spinoffs, these are entered in sequential order.  That is, determine the proper cost basis allocations post the spinoff for each company (parent and spinoffs received).  Then determine the % allocation this cost basis represents of the original parent.  When entering, make sure you adjust the percent allocations for each subsequent spinoff so the resulting tax basis assigned is correct for each company.  Refer to the help topic provided in IAM3 regarding multiple spinoffs for a working example you can follow.  If you have add'l questions, please email our technical support team directly: techsupport@investmentaccountmanager.com

Transactions / Spin off with multiple tax lots

« Last post by dmcacosta on November 19, 2019, 04:26:10 PM »

Hi! I am trying to post a spin off, but the allocation of basis among the tax lots is not allocating according to my statement.  Is there a way to specify how much basis from each lot is being spun off?  Thanks!
