Yes, you need to report the proceeds from a long term, non covered tax lot. You will need to provide a cost basis or the entire amount will be taxable income.

The broker does not know the cost basis, so you will have to determine this amount.

You can return to the financial adviser with whom you purchased the stock. 

You can also use the date of the purchase and the quantity to determine the cost basis yourself.
