WASHINGTON (CN) - Brokers must classify gains and losses as long-term or short-term for the basis of any security or stock in an entity still held by the seller, according to proposed Internal Revenue Service rules.

In addition, the proposed regulations allow taxpayers to use averaging to compute the basis in stocks acquired at different times and at different prices.
