As for cost basis and IRS view - All of the shares in the time frame that you are discussing were "non-covered" shares so the IRS has no real means of checking the cost. Secondly, in situations such as you have, the IRS is seeking a "best efforts" attempt to establish cost basis, not absolute nor actual.
