If I understand your situation, the original stock was sold several years ago. It would seem that when you sold the stock at that time, you would have used your full cost basis against the gross proceeds in that tax year.

 

The stock awarded from the class action lawsuit would have zero cost basis since it was all used when the original stock was sold. If this does describe your situation, then you will enter the selling price with no cost basis, aside from selling expenses. Use the information in the link below to enter your stock sale.
