My 1099-b shows a couple transactions with a Quantity of 0, Cost basis of 0, and a positive number for Proceeds and Gain (both the same).
Turbotax objects to the basis of 0, and doesn't accept the form. How should I handle this?
Cash in lieu usually occurs when a merger, acquisition, or reverse stock split. Instead of issuing partial shares you get "cash in lieu". The amounts are usually small. I usually use a cost basis of zero, but if the program won't allow you to use $0.00 you will have to use something else. You can try $1, or you could use the same amount as the proceeds. Or you could determine what your actual cost basis is and use that.
