Should I fill this as 1099-B and state that I dont have 1099-B with IRS

Do I need to mail the mutual fund statement to IRS

Also dont have the cost basis as they were monthly investments for few years, and were sold together in 2 days

    Since this is a foreign mutual fund you may be subject to different taxes and this may not be as simple as reporting it the same way that you report a U.S. transaction.  

    Foreign mutual funds are considered passive foreign investments, generally, and subject to a different tax structure and additional reporting via Form 8621.

     

    TurboTax doesn't support this form, and we suggest that you reach out to a qualified professional well-versed in Passive Foreign Investment Company (PFIC) taxation
