If you buy 1000 shares of a stock with a 10 Commission and then sell 100 of it with a commission of 10 and then sell 900 later with a 10 comission what is the cost basis of the 100 and 900 shares sold?

To determine cost basis you want to take the total amount paid + commission and calculate your cost per share. Lets say the stock was $10 per share and you bought 1000 shares with a commission of $10. Total cost would be $10,010. Divide that number by 1000 to get your cost per share. This equals $10.01 per share. If you sold 100 shares your cost basis is $1001. If you sold 900 shares your cost basis is $9009.
To go one step further when you sell the stock subtract the commission from the sales proceeds. If you sold 100 shares of the stock at $15 with a $10 dollar commission then your total sales proceeds will be $1490. Now just take the sales proceeds of $1490 - the cost basis of $1001 to determine your capital gains or losses. In this example you have a gain of $489. Use this same process to determine gains and losses for the other 900 shares.

What does sales draw mean?
Often a person who is a commissioned sales person will receive their commissions on a monthly basis. In the interim, they might receive a weekly advance or "sales draw" against their next monthly commission check. So, if there was four weeks in the month, they might receive 3 checks for, say $500 each. Then, when their actual commissions were calculated for the month, the $1,500 draw would be deducted from the commission check.
You are trying to find the cost basis for some Alltel stock that you sold in 2007 It was a spin-off of Sprint which was a spin-off of Centel Do you know what the share prices were in those spin-offs?
Drip Wizard (www.dripwizard.com) states that you should take your cost basis in the original Sprint shares that you owned, and allocate 18.14% of this to the Alltel shares that were spun off and keep 81.86% of the remaining basis to stay with the Sprint shares. For example, if you paid $1,000 for the Sprint shares, $181.40 is now the new basis in Alltel and $818.60 is your new basis in the Sprint shares.

Special Note: Different Methods for Calculating Tax Basis in Verizon Following the Spin-off of Idearc Shareholders of Verizon who received shares of Idearc in the spin-off are required to allocate their aggregate tax basis in their Verizon shares between the Verizon shares and the Idearc shares that they received in the spin-off in proportion to the relative fair market values of their Verizon and Idearc shares (including any cash received in lieu of fractional shares of Idearc). The distribution ratio in the spin-off was one share of Idearc for every twenty shares of Verizon. Verizon stock acquired after November 17, 2006 doers not require an adjustment to tax basis for the Idearc spin-off.U.S. federal income tax law does not specifically provide a method for determining the fair market values of the Verizon shares and Idearc shares. There are several potential methods for determining the fair market values of the Verizon shares and Idearc shares, including: # the opening trading prices of Verizon and Idearc on the first regular trading day of the Idearc shares ($34.82 and $26.50, respectively, on November 20, 2006); # the average of the high and low trading prices of the Verizon and Idearc shares on the first regular trading day of the Idearc shares ($34.90 and $27.57, respectively, on November 20, 2006); and # the closing trading prices of Verizon and Idearc on the first regular trading day of the Idearc shares ($34.67 and $28.20, respectively, on November 20, 2006). There may be other methods to determine the fair market values of shares of Verizon and Idearc for purposes of allocating tax basis following the spin-off.
