Get your taxes done using TurboTax
The dots mean that the brokerage does not know the cost basis. You have to provide the cost basis from your own records. Since the proceeds are only 4 cents, you will have a loss of whatever the basis is. If you can't determine the basis, you could just omit the transaction from your tax return. That would be the same as reporting zero basis. You would lose the benefit of being able to claim the loss, but the IRS will not complain if you do that.
