Overview

    GM (General Motors) is one of the most widely owned stocks.

    Since 1956, there have been numerous splits. Also, there have been more complicated stock transactions.

    GM spun off GM class H stock.

    GM spun off GM class E stock, which later became EDS (Electronic Data Systems).

   GM and GM class H exchanged stock for Raytheon (originally Raytheon class A stock).

    GM class H stock becomes Hughes Electronics Corporation. A portion of Hughes is exchanged for News Corporation shares.

    Hughes Electronics Corporation changes its name to the DirecTV group (not DirectTV).

    GM splits off Delphi Automotive Systems Corporation, which is now in bankruptcy.

      If you have not sold out of any of those stocks, you now own GM, EDS (which will or has been sold to HP), Raytheon, News Corp Class A and DirecTV.

         To get from 1970 to now there were 19 cost basis adjustments for splits, spin-offs, split-offs and mergers. This is what the GM Basis Calculator does for you.

       In addition to all the changes to GM that were beyond your control, you might have bought and sold shares in some of the GM "family" of securities! That can complicate things more. The GM Basis Calculator also takes those transactions into considerations.

      The GM Basis Calculator presents in a summary how many shares you own and at what cost for the GM, EDS (which will or has been sold to HP), Raytheon, News Corp Class A and DirecTV.

      If you want to know how the tax basis, number of shares and cost per share on that summary were arrived at, a detailed report will trace each security, transaction by transaction.

     If you want to know how the tax basis, number of shares and cost per share on that summary were arrived at, a detailed report will trace each security, transaction by transaction.

     Use this program to determine the historical stock cost basis for the GM family of securities.  This program has the basis history - mergers, splits, spin - offs, etc. - since 1950.

Our Cost Basis Customer Opinions:
"After a very short learning curve..less than 5 minutes, I mastered the GM Cost Basis Calculator...It saved me hours of work during an exceptionally busy time....Job well done! Thank you!"

Roseann Perkosky, CPA

"If software and technology were supposed to simplify life and make things easier, then I would say that the "AT&T Divestiture Basis Tracker" would rank at the top of my list of useful programs. It has saved me many many hours that I would other wise have spent in tracking and calculating cost basis and allowed me to provide my client, their CPAs and many other Financial advisors in my office a service that has been greatly appreciated by all.

 I think for the price you charge the product is a steal. Thank you ."

"Great software that I wish I had available ten years ago."

Greg Arnott
