It is possible the stock was restricted stock units (RSU's). That would be the case if they were given to you so that you didn't pay anything for them. If so, you would enter that as the type of stock sold.

 

If that happened, the value of them should have been included as wage income on your W-2 form in the year you received them. In that case, the cost basis you enter in 2024 upon their sale would be their value when you received them.

 

You would say you purchased the stock.
