Overview

    On 1/1/1984 AT&T had a divestiture. On that date, the owners of AT&T became owners of A T & T, US West, BellSouth, PacificTelesis, Southwestern Bell (SBC Communications), American Information Tech (Ameritech), Nynex and Bell Atlantic.

     If you have not sold out of any of those stocks, you now own AT&T, Nokia Corp, NCR, Teradata Corporation, CenturyLink, Vodafone, Comcast Corporation,  FairPoint Communications, Frontier Communications and Verizon. Note: Idearc qualifies for a worthless stock deduction in 2009. FairPoint qualifies for a worthless stock deduction in 2011.

         To get from 12/31/1983 to now there were 36 stock basis adjustments for spin-offs, split-offs and mergers and 24 cost per share adjustments for splits. This is what the AT&T Divestiture Cost Basis Tracker does for you.

      How to compute the cost basis yourself without using software.

      In addition to all the changes to AT&T and the Baby Bells that were beyond your control, you might have bought and sold shares in some of the Baby Bells and their family! That can complicate things more. The AT&T Divestiture Basis Tracker also takes those transactions into considerations.

      The AT&T Divestiture Basis Tracker presents in a summary how many shares you own and at what cost for AT&T, Alcatel-Lucent, Avaya (sold 10/25/2007), NCR, Teradata Corporation, CenturyLink,  Vodafone, LSI Logic, Comcast Corporation, Frontier Communications and Verizon.

      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 AT&T family of securities.  This program has the basis history - mergers, splits, spin - offs, etc. - since December, 1963.

       You will find this faster and easier than any AT&T "worksheet."

"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."
