Deductions & credits

I have the same question. Agree with your suggested wording. Or at least use the wording "Average trading price". 

 

Additionally, TT is populating the Cost Basis with $1. Form 8283 has these instructions for column g:

Column (g). Do not complete this column for publicly
traded securities held more than 12 months, unless you
elect to limit your deduction cost basis. See section
170(b)(1)(C)(iii). Keep records on cost or other basis.

 

Shouldn't that column be left blank?
