My husband and I purchased stock in 2002 & kept certificates in a safe deposit box. My husband died in 2015 and I put the stock in an E*trade account. I sold the stock & my 1099-B from E*trade shows the date acquired as 03/06/15 (the date my husband died) & their cost basis is based on that date. Do I use the info on the 1099-B or do I change it to the date in 2002?
