Yes, adjusting the cost basis is probably the most efficient way to get the gain/loss numbers in TurboTax to match your 1099-B.  Adjusting the holding period would move transactions from short-term to long-term and vice versa, but this method may not yield the result you are trying to achieve.  The firm that issued the 1099-B is probably the only source that can explain why your gain/loss amounts are reflected in this way.
