Hi Folks,
I have a capital gain for 2015 and before I make the payment, I want to check a couple of things:
1) I have a loss from when Elan were acquired by Perrigo in late 2013. Can I use that loss now against the 2015 gain? I haven't recorded the loss in my 2013 tax return.
2) I am going to struggle to calculate the loss. I know what I paid for the shares, but not sure exactly what price they sold for, especially given the small number of Perrigo shares I received as part of the deal. Does anyone have this info?
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
