What the past year did to your cost basis
Holding 100 shares of YMAX through the last 52 payouts, you’d have collected $479.24. About $246.40 of it (51%) was return of capital: not taxed when paid, but it came off your cost basis, which raises the gain when you sell.
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.
