This could be cash in lieu of a fractional share. Some companies will issue cash to shareholders rather than issue fractional shares. If that is what happened here, the amount in question would still get reported on Schedule D, and maybe Form 8949; however, to report such information requires additional information, e.g. sale date, price per share, all of which you do not have.
What is the name of the stock in question? The missing information might be available on the company's website as it is highly unlikely that you are the only one to have received cash in lieu of a fractional share.
In the end, if the information is unavailable, there is always the option of reporting zero for the cost basis of the fractional share; however, before taking that step, let's see what we can find out from the company that issued you the cash.
