Retirement tax questions

I remember Quick & Reilly.  AT&T is complicated because of the Ma Bell breakup and recombinations over the years.  If you are sure you purchased AT&T and not one of the Ma Bell pieces, I have records from 1994 onwards to mid 2005:

 

9/30/1994  price/shr $54.15

9/30/1996  Lucent spinoff, AT&T basis 72.01%

4/15/1999 3 for 2 split

7/9/2001   Wireless spinoff, AT&T basis 77.66%

11/18/2002 Comcast spinoff, AT&T basis 37.40%

11/18/2002 1 for 5 reverse split

11/18/2005 Merger with SBC, new name AT&T Inc.  0.77942 shrs new AT&T per old AT&T shr

 

Looking at

there were no more stock splits after 2005 and no spinoffs or mergers prior to the 4/5/2022 action.

 

Historical stock prices are also tricky because of the old AT&T Co vs the new AT&T Inc but

is the right place to look.

 

Vanguard used a 72% AT&T  and 28% WBD for the split of the AT&T cost basis as a result of the spinoff.
