  1. the tax lady Says:

    Your cost basis is what you paid PLUS the purchase commission.
    Your sales price is what is shown on the 1099-B.

    You have to list each and every transaction on schedule D or D-1 (hint, look at the D-1 and set up a spreadsheet that matches it–then use the spreadsheet as the D-1).

    You are accounting for sales of $1056.10. I have no idea how much your gain/loss was.
