Inherited Stock 35,000 29,000 6,000 X Cost basis is FMV on date of death. Inherited property is always deemed to be long-term regardless of the time held.
Stock 3,200 6,000 (2,800) X Stock was held for less than one year.
Land (1) 147,000 86,739 60,261 X Held from June 15, 1995.
Stock 1,725 1,350 375 X Stock was held for four years.
Stock 9,200 10,000 (800) X Stock was held for more than one year.
Bond (2) 95,949 94,212 1,737 X Bond was held more than one year.

6/30/10 4,000 677 4,677 94,212
Interest received = $100,000 * 8% / 2 because interest is paid semiannually.
Amortization of OID = 5% * Basis of Bond (5% = 10% effective yield divided by two)
Interest income = Interest Received +OID
Basis of Bond = Prior Basis amount + current Amortization of OID
