Stock sold by broker in NY, check cashed in MS. I bought daughter a great car and she sold gift to minor stock ( approx 15,000+) and gave it to me. I was custodian and started account with a couple thousand here and there in ?? 1979??. Daughter 31 now. I have always prepared my taxes but How in the world am I supposed to figure out losses, gains, ups and downs over 30 years? OR really over 13 years since she shouldn't be taxed prior to age 18??? I was told, however, that after daughter receives a 1099 from broker, she could fill out a 1099 to me so that she is not burdened by the tax issue...She is still a struggling student. Does anything I have written make sense. I have a CPA but can't get in touch with him. Months back, he told me not to worry.. Any pointers would be appreciated..Thanks for reading!!!
