You sold a stock(non-employee). For the date acquired, you would have to choose a date either more than one year before the sale date or one year less. That would depend on how long you held the investment from the time you acquired it until it was sold. Assuming you didn't buy the stock before you sold it, can use the sales date as listed on the form for the date acquired. The cost basis would be what you paid for it, which would be $0 if it didn't cost you anything. If you didn't provide any services or pay money to acquire the stock you can say you received it as a gift. Otherwise, say you purchased it.
