Tax Basis Declaration in IB

    Posted by rank10 on 2nd of Mar 2010 at 08:53 am

    in IB i noticed last night you can change your tax basis declaration.  what do most people choose?  Am I right in thinking that I want to capitalize on long term gains i would want to choose Last In, First Out?

     

    First In, First Out (FIFO)

    Last In, First Out (LIFO)

    Maximize Losses
