Question: in calculating capital gains / losses on trades, do we include commissions in that or not?

Free trading? Hmmm. What do they charge on mutual funds? Scottrade has a bunch of NTF's, and those that aren't cost $17 per transaction.

Sounds like we never traded, did we? ;) Yes, we include them in our Schedule D.

I haven't seen that freetrade stuff. Is it a farse?

Mike, yes, comissions are part of the cost-basis.

Scottrade doesn't charge anything for mutual funds, other than the $17 for not holding them for ninety days minimum.

It doesn't pay to trade in and out of mutual funds rapidly anyway.

For Freetrade you have to meet the qualifications, all electronic, no phone contact that I noticed. I don't know??

Think I will stay with my broker. At least I can call their area office if I have a problem?
