Chapter 13 - Security Types
The Security Type Table, brought up from the Main Menu, shows security
types, divided into sections by class. A Security Type File with a number
of pre-defined security types is into your program directory during
installation. The values displayed are:
o Type code.
o Description.
o Class, such as STOCK or STOCK FUND.
o (Div,Int) Whether a global security with this type will have dividends
or interest distributions, and whether they are taxable.
o Where short term capital gains distributions (STCG) by a security of
this type are reported on the tax forms.
o Where long term capital gains distributions (LTCG) by a security of this
type are reported on the tax forms.
o Whether to group Sales of a security of this type on Schedule D-1.
o Where return of Principal distributions by a security of this type are
reported on the tax forms.
o Where Sales Commissions are factored in on Schedule D-1.
At the bottom of the table is a scrollable row of functions:
o Ins:Add - add a security type.
o ENTER:Change - change the highlighted security type.
o Del:Delete - delete the highlighted security type.
o Esc:Exit - exit from the table, returning to the Main Menu.
o Ctrl-PgUp:Top - go to the first record.
o Ctrl-PgDn:Bottom - go to the last record.
o F3:Security Type Report - generate the Security Type Report.
13.1 Add a Security Type
The Security Type Form is brought up to add a record when you hit the
Ins key on the Security Type Table. The fields in the form are:
Capital Gainz Users Manual 13-1
o (Required) The Type Code for the security type. This can be any 1-4
character code, usually having some mnemonic link to the description.
This code must be unique over all security types.
o (Required) The security type Description. Up to 25 characters of
identifying text can be entered.
o (Required) The Class of the security type. Choose from one of the
displayed classes. Security Type Classes are described below.
===>>> o (Required) Whether a security of this type has dividend (DIV) or
interest (INT) Distributions.
===>>> o (Required) Whether dividend or interest distributions by a
security of this type are taxable on Schedule B. Choices are:
o OMIT - distributions are omitted from the tax forms. This is not the
same as being non-taxable.
o TAX - distributions are taxable, and added in with other dividends
and interest on Schedule B.
o NOTAX - distributions are non-taxable, and added in with other
dividends and interest on Schedule B before being subtracted back out
as non-taxable.
o (Required) Where Short Term Capital Gains distributions by a security of
this type are reported on the tax forms. Choices are:
o OMIT - distributions are omitted from the tax forms.
o B SCH - distributions are added to the dividends on Schedule B. This
is the normal tax treatment.
o D<-B - distributions are added to the dividends on Schedule B, but
then subtracted back out for inclusion on Schedule D-1.
o (Required) Where Long Term Capital Gains distributions by a security of
this type are reported on the tax forms. Choices are:
o OMIT - distributions are omitted from the tax forms.
o B SCH - distributions are added to the dividends on Schedule B.
o D<-B - distributions are added to the dividends on Schedule B, but
then subtracted back out for inclusion on Schedule D-1. This is the
normal tax treatment.
o (Required) How to handle Sales for a security of this type on Schedule
D-1. Choices are:
o OMIT - don't include sales on Schedule D-1. This is the default for
security types of class CASH.
Capital Gainz Users Manual 13-2
o EACH - each purchase sold during the year is shown on Schedule D-1.
This is the normal tax treatment.
o GROUP - all purchases for a given sale are lumped into short and long
term groups, so only one or two entries are made on Schedule D-1 for
each sale. The listed purchase date will be VARIOUS.
o B SCH - report sales on Schedule B. This is useful for U.S. Savings
Bonds, which allow you to defer taxes on implied interest until they
are redeemed.
o (Required) Where Return of Principal distributions by a security of this
type are reported on the tax forms. Choices are:
o OMIT - distributions are omitted from the tax forms.
o B SCH - distributions are added to the dividends on Schedule B, but
then subtracted back out. This is the normal tax treatment.
o (Required) How Sales Commission is treated on Schedule D-1. According to
IRS rules, commissions should be added to the basis on Schedule D-1.
However, most 1099-B Forms subtract the sales commission from the sales
amount. Choices are:
o OMIT - sales commissions are not included in the sales price or basis
on Schedule D-1.
o COST - sales commissions are added to the open basis on Schedule D-1.
o SALE - sales commissions are subtracted from the sales price on
Schedule D-1. This is the default value.
Function keys at the bottom of the screen are:
o Form Accept - accept form, the same as hitting Enter on each field. This
key is only displayed when changing records.
o Form Reject - exit immediately, the same as hitting Esc to back out.
This key is only displayed when adding or changing records.
When adding a record, the fields are initialized to the most common
values.
After completing the form, the security type record is added. You
return to the Security Type Table, and the new security type is
highlighted.
13.1.1 Security Type Class
o STOCK - securities such as common or preferred stock.
o STOCK FUND - stock-based mutual funds.
o BOND - securities such as corporate or municipal bonds.
Capital Gainz Users Manual 13-3
o BOND FUNDS - bond-based mutual funds.

funds or bank certificates of deposit.
o OTHER - any other type of security, such as a partnership.
o OTHER FUND - any other type of mutual fund, such as an allocation fund
with mixed stock and bond holdings.
These classes are used in the Portfolio Allocation Report, and also to

13.1.2 Example - Add a Security Type
Say you create a security type:
Type Code :SHLT
Description :Sector Fund - Health Care
Class :Stock Fund
Distributions :DIV
Sched B Div/Int :TAX
Short Term CG :B SCH
Long Term CG :D<-B
Sched D Sales :EACH
Ret of Principal:B SCH
Sales Commission:SALE
o The security type record is created.
o Securities defined with this type will pay taxable dividends. Short and
long term capital gains distributions will be reported on Schedule B,
with long term gains subtracted out for inclusion on Schedule D-1. Sales
are not grouped, and sales commission is subtracted from the selling
amount on Schedule D-1.
13.2 Change a Security Type
The Security Type Form is brought up to change the highlighted record
when you hit the Enter key on the Security Type Table. The Security Type
Form, described earlier, is initialized to the current values of the
security type to be changed.
===>>> After completing the form, the security type record is updated. If
you changed the type code or dividend/interest setting, all the global
security records defined as this type are also changed. Confirmation is
required regardless of the Confirm Update global setting, since many
records could be affected. You return to the Security Type Table, and the
just changed security type is highlighted.

The Security Type Form is brought up to delete the highlighted record
when you hit Del on the Security Type Table. The Security Type Form,

deleted.
===>>> The security type record is deleted. However, all global securities
defined as this type are NOT deleted. Instead, the type code field in the
global security records is set to all spaces. Confirmation is required
regardless of the Confirm Delete global setting, since many records could
be affected. When you're finished with the Security Type Form, you return
to the Security Type Table, and the security type after the one just
deleted is highlighted.

types with Tax Free in their names treat dividend or interest
distributions as non-taxable on Schedule B. All security types are set to
