Dear Sir or Madam, I have enclosed evidence and reasoning of why the original amount I owe the IRS is incorrect, and have provided a revised table of how much I correctly owe the IRS. Reasoning: The IRS counted the $5198.36 from stock sales of 370 shares of SEBL on ameritrade (#001 SSN: 123-456-7890 Form 1099-B Sales Date: 02-12-2004) as all profit due to lack of cost basis for those stock sold. I have included a transaction copy from Ameritrade that shows when I bought those stocks (370 shares of SEBL) on 11/26/2003 for $4842.78 So the cost basis for the stock transaction on 02-12-2004 was $4842.78 The income from that transaction was $355.58 (calculated from $5198.36 - $4842.78) Here is the revised change table to my return: Changes to Your Income and Deductions SECURITIES
