How do you find value of a stock certificate?
You can contact the state that your certificate was incorporated in, each state has a department that handles such things. This site has each state's department contact information listed
www.secstates.com
Databases/directories of corporate changes can also be useful in determining the value of your shares. Reasonably priced databases and those available to the public that is. Most local business libraries could help you out.The next step is then to contact either the transfer agent (found on the stock certificate) just google the name and you should have a number to call. They will have all information as to what happened to the company, if anything was left for investors etc.. if by any chance the companies transfer agent has also gone by the wind.
The state will be able to determine for you when the companies charter was cancelled although will not be able to tell you if any dividends or other capital payments were left for investors.
In all I would go with professional help, a broker or other financial advisor can help.Or can visit an online researchers like stockcertexpert.com they are the cheapest and are the best value. They deliver an amazing report of the value of your certificates

Difference between common stock and prefered stock?
Common stockholders generally are the only shareholders who are allowed to vote at shareholders' meetings, whereas preferred stockholders' shares generally convey no voting rights.
However, preferred stockholders have guaranteed dividend rights that common shareholders do not have. Common stockholders have no right to any dividends at all, unless and until the Board of Directors, at its sole discretion, declares a dividend on common stock. However, even if a common stock dividend is declared, it cannot be paid until the preferred stockholders get the dividends that they are due on their preferred shares - hence the name "preferred" stock.
What is the difference between authorized stock issued stock outstanding stock and preferred stock?
Authorized stock is the amount of stock that a corporation is allowed to sell. Think of it as the number of shares that a company is permitted to sell.
Issued stock is the number of shares that said company has sold. This includes shares that the company bought back (treasury stock) or retired (no longer available in the market).
Outstanding Stock is the number of shares that have been sold and are being traded in the market. Outstanding stock does not include treasury stock (the stock the company bought back--think of it as a companies piggy bank for stock it is not available to the public although it was previously sold until it was re-acquired). It also does not include the stock that has been retired. Outstanding stock reflects only the amount of shares that have been sold to the stockholders and remains out on the market.
Preferred stock is stock that comes with "special" privileges such as the ability to get paid dividends (a share of the company's profits) first before the "non-special" or common stockholders do. If a company decides to "give back" to its shareholders some of its profits, then preferred stockholders get paid first before any of the common stockholders do. If there is not enough money left for the common stockholders, then only the preferred stockholders get paid. There are other rights associated with preferred stock such as the ability to collect in the assets of the company upon liquidation, but that rarely happens as creditors take claim to most of the assets during a liquidation.

Do you have to put stock investment earnings on your taxes?
You do not have to put any investment earnings in any stock until you have actually taken position of those earnings. Stock can have a value of $! when you purchased it. It may gain in value due to the increase in the stock price, but you do not pay any taxes until you actually take possession, or sell the stock! You would have to pay a tax on the increase in a value of stock(s), if you give them to another person. This is called "Gift tax". Or might even get a deduction on taxes if you give the stock to a qualified Charity (501c3 corporporation). And of course you must pay, or your Heirs, must pay upon your death. There are stated stipulated amount exclusions on the "Gift" and "Death" tax, but they still must be reported on the proper IRS TAX FORM!
No.
A wash sale is where you sell stock at a loss, then buy a substantially identical security to replace it during a 61-day time period starting 30 days before the sale and ending 30 days after it. If you do this, you can't deduct the loss. Three things happen in a wash sale from a tax standpoint--you can't deduct the loss on the wash sale, the loss is added to the basis of the replacement stock, and the holding period of the replacement stock is set to the holding period of the washed stock. The first one is the reason for the wash sale rule. The reason for the rule should be obvious: too many people were saving too much on their taxes by unloading stock, deducting the tax loss, then buying it back the same day because it's good stock and it's really cheap now. The second one is nice: if you bought stock for $100, sold it for $40 and bought it back a day later for $39, the IRS allows you to adjust your new stock's basis to $99--$39 stock price plus the $60 in disallowed loss. (The reason it's nice is it reduces your capital gain--or increases your loss--when you sell the replacement securities.) The third could screw you up depending on how long you held the stock in the first place: if you owned Acme for 20 years and dumped it in a wash sale, the IRS says you owned the replacement shares for 20 years. There are two ways to get around the wash sale rule: wait 31 days before buying the new stock, or buy stock in another company.
