If the cash portion of Sam Chase's withdrawal is greater than his adjusted cost basis in the club, the extra cash is a capital gain and the stock(s) transferred as part of the withdrawal assume a cost basis of $0.
Since you don't provide the details of how you funded the Sam Chase withdrawal, I can't give a more definitive answer.

I have a member departing with stock. This is a first for
us. I went to the Demo Club and withdrew Sam Chase so I
could see what questions I would need to answer. Bivio let
me do a full withdrawal. I ran the report afterwards, but
the Member's Cost Basis of Property Distributed and the
Member's Adj. Cost Basis on the stock portions are zero.
Now, if I run the withdrawal report on Elina Rutledge, who
was already withdrawn from the Demo Club, the stock figures
in both places are listed.
So my question is: Why isn't the member's new cost basis in
the stock showing up on MY withdrawal of Sam Chase?
I completed the two screens provided for me. Did I miss
something?
