1099-B Not Allowing Zero Cost Basis
We have a 1099-B for the sale of a Restricted Stock Award with a blank cost basis. This was a stock award from my wife's employer. The form help says a zero can be entered. But when we enter a zero, the next page gives three options: "I found my cost basis", "I need help with my cost basis", and "I don't want to enter my cost basis (not recommended)".
If I choose the last option the summary shows it needs review. Why won't it accept the zero amount?
