    This distribution is not taxable since Raoul is not earning any money at all (dividend income = $0), but the tax basis on the stocks that he holds will vary.

    Before the distribution, Raoul had 310 shares, each share with a $60 tax basis. After the distribution, Raoul will have 465 shares, each share with a $40 tax basis.
