If you show the changes to the cost basis as and "adjustment" to the cost basis, that will be telling the IRS that the cost basis reported on the 1099-B is not correct.  The IRS frequently doesn't know the cost basis of assets sold.  To a great extent, we are still on the "honor system" when it comes to tax reporting.
