Get your taxes done using TurboTax
If you are not able to determine the amount of stock that was sold, you may have to list $0 as your basis.
Before you do that, look carefully at the details of your 1099-B statement. A typical 1099-B has very little information on the 1099-B form, especially for the noncovered securities.
But further back in the details, sometimes you find all the information that you need. Start by checking the Box for this transaction, it should be E, based on what you said, so it will be near the back of the detail statements.
You will probably find the fractional amount of shares sold and maybe even the cost basis for these transactions.
If it turns out that .0004 is the amount sold, that will come out to just over 1 cent basis, so it will round down to $0.
