Under irs rules, if a customer selling shares of stock wishes to use specific identification instead of fifo for cost basis reporting, the broker-dealer effecting the trade must be notified of this no later than:

Settlement Date

Explanation:

The broker is expected to be notified on the date which the cash or assets has been transferred has been completed. The settlement date simply refers to the date that the trade or sales of shares of stock settles, and thus when using specific identification rather than FIFO, the broker dealer must be notified no later than the settlement date for cost basis reporting.

you can lose ranking 2 ways.

1) you don't have enough points due to you expending them by asking questions/your answers are deleted.

2) your brainliest's expired. this means that brainliests, once they exceed the 30 day limit, expires. this is to ensure that you continue to contribute into the community at a constant rank if you want to continue to have/exceed the rank you have right now.

if you go to profile, and click "show more information" located on the bottom left of the box with your information (on top of the questions answered, questions asked, and friends), you will be given the following information (example):

member since : 02/13/2017, 18: 11

questions answered: 9741

questions asked: 162

no. of brainliest answers: 1575

brainliest answers in last 30 days: 10

warnings: 0 view

questions/answers reported: 2637

questions/answers incorrectly reported: 64

look at the "brainliest answers in the last 30 days". this is the one that will affect your rank other than your points. again, once your brainliest expires (was earned 31+ days ago), it will not be counted.
