My wife inherited stocks in 2015 that had no basis according to broker statements, apparently company was sold/merged. The stock remained in portfolio with zero value until liquidated in 2019 for a total of $0.39, no basis reported on 1099-B. TT won't let me e-file without basis and indicates I should mail my return. Seems stupid to have to hard file for 39 cents. Cant even mail it to IRS for that. Can I enter 0 for basis? Dosent seem that would be wrong as the statement showed it had no value when wife inherited from her father.
