This will be my first year to do taxes with investments. This information will be helpful for you.

It's long. You will have to just go through it and figure out what applies to you. I do remember some of this stuff in tax class.

Hopefully some of the example can be a benefit to you.

I thought the "worthless security" section was interesting. I just glanced through it. Never was taught that one in school.

If things really go bad for this stock, maybe it could be defined as a "worthless security"? I don't know. Hopefully we don't have to figure that one out.
