You may have a 1099-B from an ESPP (Employee Stock Purchase Plan).

 

For ESPP shares, the cost basis is the discounted purchase price, plus the compensatory income recognized on Form W-2. Under new IRS rules, starting in 2014, brokers who sell any ESPP shares will only be allowed to report the discounted purchase price of ESPP shares as the cost basis on Form 1099-B.
