Before the split I had an odd number of shares. The split entry in BS didn't round down the number of shares I've received, so it needs fixing.

By the way, is the cash payment received in lieu of fractional shares treated as capital gain for the income tax form? Should it affect the security's purchase value?

ok @Huoya, I'll register the sale entry.

do you think there should be a warning for the users alerting that?

thanks.

I'm not a shareholder of this company, but while I was studying it, I saw this thread and I think it would actually be a good idea to at least warn the BS user in case the split results in fractions of a share. Even with BS doing the split automatically, maybe it could show a warning asking the user to check/confirm at his/her broker whether they accept fractions or if a sell should be registered in BS.
