How do you calculate capital gain after a merger or acquisition that involves both cash and stock?
1099B form from your broker should be showing the sales proceeds correctly. First check the surviving company's web site for instructions on how to calculate the new cost basis of the surviving entity. The rule is that your economic gain (market value of new stock plus cash received less cost basis in your original shares) is only taxable to the extent of cash received (referred to as cash to boot.) You can apply the formula: GAIN = Lesser of (CASH RECEIVED) or (Market value of NEW company's stock received plus CASH received less OLD company's cost basis) After that you have to determine, whether it is long term gain, taxed only at 15%, or ordinary income. You do that by looking at the original purchase date of the old company. If it was bought more than 12 months before the merger or acquisition, you have a capital gain. Otherwise, it is a short-term gain, taxable as ordinary income unless you have capital losses to offset it. For more information visit the Related Link.
