Checking the box will inform the IRS that you are reporting a cost basis that is different from what was reported to the IRS by the issuer of the IRS form 1099-B.
There are many valid reasons why this might be the case.
Retain the cost basis information with your income tax records should a tax authority have a question about the transaction at a later time.
