[GNC] Addition to basis

[Fred Tydeman]

I am getting the numbers from my Fidelity 2022 tax report.
It has the following sections:
 1099-DIV
 1099-INT
 1099-MISC
 1099-B
 1099-DIV
  Account Fees
  Addition to Basis
  Foreign Income and Taxes Summary

Two of my mutual funds had Addition to Basis information.
  DFA Int'l Small Cap Value
  DFA Int'l Small Company Portfolio
