I've modeled an inheritance of a taxable account which occurred in the first year of my plan by

1) Creating a windfall income for the amount distributed to me (taxable = No) in plan first year

2) Recording a scheduled withdrawal from the Cash account to Taxable Investment account in plan first year

 

How can I record that the cost basis of this distribution is 95% of the distribution value?

@sgg744guerra I'd recommend just adding this as another line item on the Build > Financial Assets > Account Initial Balances > Taxable Accounts page. It allows you to specify the initial basis. Note, though, that this inherited account will not be modeled separately from your other taxable accounts.
