If I have a stock that pays dividends every quarter, then I also make a purchase of that stock every quarter if I’m reinvesting dividends. So when I sell, am I going to have to document 4 purchases for each year I owned that stock?" I find myself in this bind now, having sold a mutual fund that I had the dividends reinvested. I declared the dividend amount each tax year. When I sell, I assume I only declare the original purchase amount as I have already declared the dividends. Is this correct? Thanks Matthew stated this in the comments in 2008…”If I reinvest my dividends, when I sell the stock, do I have to list each purchase on my tax return.

I used to reinvest the dividends into the company that generated them, but that was because my broker allowed fractional shares. However, I also like the process of allocating the dividends to the areas that need the focus. These tend to be the areas that are at their lowest so over the longer term I have seen additional gains.

Currently I do not reinvest into same fund or stock which generated the dividend but leave it in my account and invest it in my next addition to the existing positions. What do you think?

Now when is comes time to cash in, I learn that the reinvested dividends are worth about half of the value of the Common Stock. Can you explain to me how this happened.
