What records matter for an inherited concentrated stock position?

A large single-stock position needs lot detail, any trading restrictions, and a clear plan trail for sales or transfers—without turning the CPA page into investment advice.

Corporate blackout rules or insider designations may affect timing paperwork.

Keep restriction documents with the tax basis file.
