    Hi, 

    Thanks for your reply.   

    Many years ago I inherited some stock and just re-invested the dividends.  I  do have the cost basis for that time.    In July 2021, the company did a reverse stock split of common stock and I ended up with a fraction of a stock, which was not acceptable.   I received a check for $34.05 which is listed as cash liquidation on the 1099-B form.  

    So, I can answer the  turbotax questions of name of company date sold, gross proceeds.  How should I answer date acquired-- inherited?  or the actual date?    I assume that it's long term since I've had the stock since1993, but is it covered since I can provide  the cost basis?  I left the less common adjustment questions  blank.  

    I appreciate any help you can provide.    Thank you.

    Please clarify your question.

     

    What are you trying to do?

    • Enter the 1099-B manually
      • are there dates missing
      • are you missing your basis
    • Download the file
      • are you missing an account number
      • other details for the download
    • is there another issue?

    The date acquired would be the date you took ownership of the stock. It would only be covered if the form 1099-B reported the correct cost basis.

    If you're required to file a tax return and you have a gain based on the scenario described on this page, you need to report this income.

    Please see the TurboTax Help article Do I need to file a federal return this year? for more information.

    If your fact scenario is different, please provide more information.
