Question
Stock was sold in a merger of companies. My cost basis shows as $0 because the amount of the original stock I purchased is missing. How do I correct that?
I bought stock in a company that later merged with another company and paid out in both stock and cash. The proceeds for cash show up in my 1099-B but the cost basis for the original stock purchase do not. How do I correct this problem as it's calculating as if I gained on the entire amount of the transaction which is wrong.
