Best Answer

The original cost of a capital asset plus any adjustments to the basis of the asset and that will make be the adjusted cost basis when the capital asset is sold.

Go to the IRS gov web site and use the search boxes for publication 550.

Refer to Stocks and Bonds under Basis of Investment Property in chapter 4 of Publication 550, Investment Income and Expenses.

Cost Basis

The basis of property you buy is usually its cost. The cost is the amount you pay in cash, debt obligations, or other property or services.Unstated interest. If you buy property on a time-payment plan that charges little or no interest, the basis of your property is your stated purchase price, minus the amount considered to be unstated interest. You generally have unstated interest if your interest rate is less than the applicable federal rate. For more information, see Unstated Interest andOriginal Issue Discount (OID) in Publication 537.

Who are the taxable persons?

In the Internal Revenue Code there is a tax imposed upon taxable income and that is defined as gross income or adjusted gross income which amounts to income earned in a taxable year by a taxpayer.

A tax imposed upon taxable income does not answer what the subject of the tax is. Is taxable income the same as income? If it is then why is taxable income defined as gross income or adjusted gross income but income itself never defined? Is income the subject of the Personal Income Tax Law?
