| Almanacers,
If a deceased parent leaves her child stocks, what basis is used for cost? Is it the original cost or cost on the date of death? please advise, Bj | |

| Hi Brian, don't mean to pry or question you or anything like that...but reading your profile it kind of gives the impression that passing the CPA exam is enough to be a CPA (which of course isn't true)...I'm sure you're aware of your state's particular licensing requirements (usually a combination of education, experience and passing an exam), which must be met before holding yourself out as a CPA. Just in case you're not aware though, I thought I'd mentioned it. | |

| wwwCPA, your answer to the question about the basis of a gift can also be found in Pub 551. | |
