Our club owned JLG, which was bought by Oshkosh trucks for cash. We got 28.00 per share and the transaction had no fees or commissions, for a net of 2800.00. But in a separate transaction, we were charged a "reorganization fee" of $20.00 by TD Ameritrade, which said they had to change the stock symbol.

My question is, how do we record this $20.00 fee? Should it be assigned to JLG's cost basis somehow? Or should we just post it as a deductible expense and not qualify it in any special way?
