My Dad gave me some AT&T stock sometime between 1948 and
1962 (i.e., between birth and 8th grade) but I have no recollection or any
records of this gift. Dad passed away
several years ago. I received quarterly
dividends and know the stocks split in the 1980s. I ended up with 26 shares of AT&T and
sold them through Computershare in July 2015.
Computershare used the FIFO cost basis method and the gross amount of
sale was $907. I did not get a form
1099-B and the Computershare sales form shows "N/A" for covered cost
basis, etc. How do I determine the cost
basis to report any gain or loss to the IRS for Federal income tax purposes?
