Get your taxes done using TurboTax
I buy the stocks through my employer, they use a different site i can see all my purchases, with dates and prices.
The issue is, I did not sell stock. So I still hold all of my shares. There was a sale of rights (company trying to fundraise more money) but this company is based out of the UK so I was not legally able to buy more shares as part of the rights.
I was paid out 3.50$ per stock I held. 400x 3.50$ is what was paid out and listed on my 1099-b. But I did not buy or sell any stocks to earn this payout. I still have all my stocks and this cash entitlement from the broker. They will not help with any information, I called and asked. they simply say this was a cash entitlement and was not due to buying or selling any shares.
Turbo tax wants me to enter in all my purchase dates and sale price for my entire 400 shares, like i would have to do when i sell my shares. but that is not the case. these shares are worth 50-60$. If i do this, my sold price looks like 3.50$ per share, which would end up looking like a huge loss of my investment.
