I had similar situations of partial shares sale due to the spin offs , but the old turbo tax program asked if the partial shares sales are from merger/spin off, and it was processed accordingly. This year's program asks to enter information exactly same as 1099-B, then it does not accept the blank for date acquired (box 1b) and $0.00 for cost basis (box 1e) where those are the values in the boxes. The original company declared this distribution of spin-off shares is tax-free, and I don't think I need to pay tax for the partial shares.
