Stages of Implementation

Implementation is a process that does not happen all at once; it occurs in discernable

stages.

The stages are not linear or separate; each appears to impact the others in

complex ways.

Adapted from Implementation: The Missing Link Between Research and Practice, Dean Fixsen

In general, the cost or other basis is the cost of the property plus purchase commissions and improvements, minus depreciation, amortization, and depletion. If you inherited the property, got it as a gift, or received it in a tax-free exchange or involuntary conversion or in connection with a “wash sale,” you may not be able to use the actual cost as the basis. If you do not use the actual cost, attach an explanation of your basis.

You can use the average basis method to determine the basis of shares of stock if the shares are identical to each other, you acquired them at different prices and left them in an account with a custodian or agent.
