Sold father in laws mutual fund in 2018 including all
reinvested dividends. Understand the
cost basis and adjustments, but a sizeable portion was evidently purchased
before 1999. We have paperwork and
reinvested dividends from 1999/2018 but
nothing prior due to lack of paperwork ( 1099's) and poor paper trail through 3
brokerages. Any idea how to determine
original cost basis on the remaining portion purchased prior to 99. Should we use the last available price? Last time identified? Understandably the fudge factor since no one has a clue when this was purchased, perhaps even in the 70's.
