You have to go back to your brokers' statements to see if you can find the information. If you can't find the basis, it defaults to zero.

Thank you Coleen! My brokers statement does not have the date acquired or the cost basis columns filled out. Is there any way to figure it out if those are blank?

Try calling your broker. They may be able to look up the information for you.

However if the info is not included in your statement, it’s possible they don’t have it because the security was not purchased through them, but transferred in.

Otherwise, there are many sites on the Internet where you can look up a company or mutual fund’s dividend history and calculate the amounts yourself.
