Aftertax contributions during working years and capital gains tax basis #28

Open hubcity opened 5 months ago

Aftertax contributions during your working years are not accurately reflected in the capital gains tax basis. The capital gains tax basis is based on the initial values of the aftertax account. Working year contributions should cause this tax basis to change but the contributions have no impact.

(I suspect that this would be almost impossible to model in the current program and make very little difference to most users.)
