I have a loss from EMC/Dell merge. How to calculate cost basis and input to Turbo Tax?

I have a loss from EMC/Dell merge. 

I had 75 EMC shares (long term) at time of merger.  Total actual  basis was $4055.

My 1099B reported:                                      

(1)   1500 shares of EMC sold, Proceeds $1803.75, various date acquired, no cost basis.

(2)   0.360 shares of DVMT sold, proceeds $17.41, no date acquired, no cost basis.

  Can you advice me what basis to use for (1) the 86.77% of shares in Section 351 exchange, no loss cannot be recognized (2) the 13.23% of shares in the redemption, loss may be recognized and (3) the partial DMVT shares sold later, loss may be recognized?

How do I input them to Turbo Tax?

thanks
