18823 shares, with the same book value of 48028.07..... So my book value went up by 15000..which would mean I would pay less tax in the future....Essentially, I believe I'm just going to be paying my tax earlier instead of later, so Jefferam seems to be correct.....but just more this year......Am I now reading it correctly?

If you choose to use the accounting of your broker, yes. You do have the choice to simply book the $0.01 loss this year, and continue on with the previous book value. Of course, then the onus on accurate accounting of your adjusted cost base is up to you, as from your previous posts, you indicated that your broker was unwilling/unable to keep track of it that way for you in their records. You would have to be prepared to prove your cost, under scrutiny of a possible audit, at the time you decide to book your profit. It's up to you.
