Question about calculating taxes on equity sales

O
Apr 12, 2025 · 13:41

If a portion of an equity is sold - e.g. 50% - is the basis assumed to be 50% as well?

Example:

\-------------------------
100 shares purchased
10% long-term gain occurs
50 shares sold
\-------------------------

Are the taxable long-term gains in this situation based on the 10% gain on 50 shares?

Any other considerations?

Thanks
