What the past year did to your cost basis

Holding 100 shares of GGZ through the last 4 payouts, you’d have collected $84.00. About $0.79 of it (2%) was return of capital: not taxed when paid, but it came off your cost basis, which raises the gain when you sell.

Only payouts with a published split are counted in the return-of-capital figure.

Uses the issuer’s final Form 8937 figures where filed and 19a-1 estimates otherwise. Gooseberry does this per lot, with your real purchase dates.
