Thank you for that. In my case, I have none of this on the 1099 DIV, just on the1099 B which has date acquired and cost basis (blank). Sounds like you're saying that I could manually put the cost basis as the same as the "distribution". Sounds very smart and I'm hoping that this can work. Just so I don't make any mistake here, you're saying that the same concept that applied to your 1099 DIV can apply to my 1099B, right?
