What the past year did to your cost basis
Holding 100 shares of SPYT through the last 12 payouts, you’d have collected $354.10. About $3.80 of it (13%) 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 return-of-capital figure are counted in it.
Uses the issuer’s final figures (Form 8937, year-end tax statement or annual report) where Gooseberry has them, and 19a-1 estimates otherwise; a payout that a published Form 8937 leaves out counts as 0%. Gooseberry does this per lot, with your real purchase dates.
