Calcium and Dairy. Foods classified by the USDA as dairy products supply calcium to the diet. Calcium is stored in your bones, which makes them dense. Too little calcium in your diet can increase your risk of developing low bone density and fractures.
For example, say that your traditional IRA has a cost basis of $30,000 and is worth $100,000 when you take a $10,000 withdrawal. That means 30 percent of the withdrawal comes out of your cost basis and is tax-free; 70 percent comes from the remainder of the account and is taxable.
Cost basis is the original monetary amount paid for shares of a security. When you sell or exchange shares of mutual funds or other securities, you may have a capital gain or loss that must be reported to the IRS. For example, if you have a dividend reinvestment on 5/31 and an exchange redemption that results in a loss on 6/12 in the same tax year, some or all of the loss from your redemption may be disallowed as a wash sale. 2  The amount of the disallowed loss is added to the cost basis of the new shares.
