The IRS requires that we report the cost basis of certain shares   acquired after January 1, 2011. If your shares were covered by   the legislation and you have sold or transferred the shares and   requested a specific cost basis calculation method, we have   processed as requested. If you did not specify a cost basis   calculation method, we have defaulted to the first in, first out   (FIFO) method. Please visit our website or consult your tax   advisor if you need additional information about cost basis.   If you do not keep in contact with us or do not have any   activity in your account for the time periods specified by state   law, your property could become subject to state unclaimed   property laws and transferred to the appropriate state.
