Thanks for the reply!  I didn't order these sales, apparently they were generated by the internal operations of the security, "O" which is a REIT.  So I don't have any records, I did not place any orders for this action and the quantity sold is 0.000.  With a quantity of 0.000, I can't even use a general cost basis on total holdings using an average.

 

I tried to enter 0.00 as the basis (and various as the date acquired) but I am receiving an error implying that a cost basis of 0.00 is not allowed.  If I claim some other random value, like a $1, I will generate a capital loss when there isn't any.  

 

In your step 3, if I enter 0.00, I still get an error.
