Thanks @TomYoung -I did more digging at looks like Baxter was at $29.13 on Dec 1st, 2001. I had 1,152 shares of Baxalta sold in the merger, so $29.13 X 1,152= $33,557.76 should be my cost basis, correct?

When the merger happened I received $18/share and +.1482 shire stock to baxalta so:
$18 X 1,152=$20,736 in cash + 1,152 X .1482=170.72 shares of shire @ $190.04 =$32,444.84
$20,736 + $32,444.84 = $53,180 in proceeds sent to IRS

Reportable gain should be $53,180-$33,557.76= $19,623, correct?

Thanks!
