cost basis after sale of stock
after the sale of all our PEP, the 'cost basis" is listed at
84,000. as I went thru the process of recording the sale, i
didn't do anything with the 'lots". what should i have
done with those empty boxes beside each separate "lot"?
complicating the matter was the fact that our PEP was in
two separate accounts, an ed jones account and a DRIP
account, so the dividend lots were intermingled and quite
confusing.

something tells me I need to delete this transaction and
start over.

Yes, you do. When you enter the sale, you need to select the lots that were in the account where the shares were sold. If you sold your Edward Jones shares, choose only the lots purchased/reinvested through Edward Jones. Similarly for the shares held by Pepsi's DRP transfer agent.
