Cost basis of inherited mutual fund
I inherited 700 shares of a mutual fund in 2018 and sold it in 2020. The mutual fund was selling at $20 a share when my aunt died so i calculate the cost basis as $14000. However, my 1099-B breaks down the sale of the mutual fund into 22 seperate sales of stock some of which are short tem covered and uncovered and long term covered and uncovered. When i sold the mutual fund in 2020 it was selling for $18 a share so i actually lost $1400. How can i figure out the cost basis of each of these individual stocks so that all the numbers work out right?
