For tax purposes, there are two types of bond discount: 1. Original Issue discount ("OID"), & 2. Market Discount. They are taxed differently, particularly when considerered in the context of municipal bonds. It would be nice if Asset & Liability Info had a place to record these differences, i.e., amount of OID & market discount at the time of purchase. It would also be nice if Asset & Liability Info had a space for "Broker" & "Comments", to note all the myriad other situations that can present themselves with investment assets. Thanks for your help.
