IS YOUR COMPANY PREPARED TO REPORT BASIS INFORMATION TO THE IRS?

mandates of the new legislation. It provides reconciliation to books and record systems,
identifies and adjusts basis for wash sale transactions, optimizes trading gains and

issuers, transfer agents, brokers, banks and mutual funds, to report customers’ basis in
securities transactions. Legislation will be implemented in three stages:
- Equity stock acquired on or after January 1, 2011
- Mutual funds and dividend reinvestment plans (DRiP) shares acquired on or after January 1, 2012
- Other security types, such as debt issues, options, private placements acquired on or after January 1, 2013
