Yes, you would increase your basis for 50% of the increase between your cost basis and the date of death fair market value (or alternate date of death value).

Enter the information as it appears on the 1099-B, then on the screen Let's get the rest of the info from your (your account) 1099-B, enter the adjusted basis in the Corrected cost basis line and check This item was inherited box.
