Return of Capital

Return of capital occurs when an investor receives a portion of their original investment that is not considered income or capital gains from the investment. Note that a return of capital reduces an investor’s adjusted cost basis. Once the stock’s adjusted cost basis has been reduced to zero, any subsequent return will be taxable as a capital gain.
