How are bonus and fractional shares treated for income tax purposes? I owned shares in Company A. The shares were purchased less than a year back. Company A declared a 1:4 bonus share issue. They announced that that any fractional share entitlement will be aggregated and sold in the market and the proceeds distributed to shareholders entitled to fractional shares.

How to account for selling shares in private company with 'earn-out' payments? I am a shareholder for a company going through an acquisition and am unsure how the sale of my shares should be accounted for to the IRS and my personal tax consequences. I originally bought the shares for $1 five years ago. I am selling the shares and will be paid cash amounting to $2/share upon purchase. However, as part of the purchase agreement for the next two years I will be given a $1/share at the end of each successive calendar year - for a total of $4/share. My understanding is I would have a capital gains of $1/share ($2 minus $1) this year. Each of the following years I would have a capital gain of $1/share ($1 minus $0). Is my logic correct here? Can you have a basis of $0 or is that going to start setting off (audit) flags. I would sincerely hope to not have to show a capital gain for the full amount as I perceive a non-trivial amount of risk to the future payments as it is predicated on company's positive cash flow. Any help would be appreciated.
