Return of Capital, Spinoffs and more!

3 March 2026v2.37.1

Return of Capital

Dividends aren't always pure income. Some distributions include a Return of Capital (RoC) component - a portion that reduces your cost basis rather than counting as taxable income. This distinction matters for accurate tax reporting and true performance measurement.

Capitally now lets you split any dividend into its taxable and RoC portions. When you record a Return of Capital amount on a dividend, it automatically adjusts your cost basis downward and is properly reflected in your transaction value metrics.

Spinoffs

When a company spins off a division into a separate publicly traded entity, you need to allocate your original cost basis between the parent and the new company. Getting this wrong can lead to incorrect gain/loss calculations down the road.

Capitally now supports Spinoffs in the Convert / Move / Spinoff transaction. Record the spinoff by setting the source quantity to 0, and Capitally handles the cost basis split between both positions automatically. Residual cache you received from fractional shares can be included as well.
