Covered shares are shares purchased after a certain date and the basis is required to be sent to the shareholder AND the IRS

 

Non-covered shares are shares purchased before a certain date and are reported in a previous reporting requirement where the basis is reported only to you, not to the IRS. The IRS is given the redemption amount.
