Example: Long Term Reinvested
A purchase of 1.00 is created with the original purchase date (Line 1). A subsequent sale of this same 1.00 unit is created to offset the purchase, with the sell date being the pay date of the gain, creating the long-term capital gain (Line 9). The purchase amount of the new shares will be the total amount of the gain. The number of new shares will be calculated by taking the amount of the dividend and divide it by the re-investment price (Line 5).
Example: Long-Term Not Re-invested
A purchase of 1.00 is created with the original purchase date. A subsequent sale is created for 1.00 unit to offset the purchase with the sell date being the pay date of the gain, creating the short-term capital gain.
Example: Short Term Reinvested
A purchase of 1.00 is created with a purchase date of one year and one day prior to the pay date of the gain (Line 1). A subsequent sale of this same 1.00 unit is created to offset the purchase, with the sell date being the pay date of the gain, creating the long-term capital gain (Line 9). The purchase amount of the new shares will be the total amount of the gain. The number of new shares will be calculated by taking the amount of the dividend and divide it by the re-investment price(Line 5).
Example: Short Term Not Reinvested
A purchase of 1.00 is created with a purchase date of the business day before the pay date of the gain. A subsequent sale is created for 1.00 unit to offset the purchase with the sell date being the pay date of the gain, creating the short-term capital gain.
