I own Volkswagen 300 stocks (VLKPY) since 2015 and it is converted to OTC in 2018 with new symbol VWAPY . I was told by brokerage firm either to cash out or convert to OTC stocks, I opted for conversion and my account was updated with 600 VWAPY (2*300VLKPY) in Feb-2019 and I have sold all my 600 shares in Dec-2019. Now the my 1099 form show my VWAPY cost basis as 0 and also aquired date as Feb-2019. I have two problems here
1. 1099 has incorrect cost basis (0)
2. It is showing as short term holding.
How to file my 1099 correctly? Appreciate your help, I am worried with only one remaining for filing.
Thanks

@ravileos this happens quite frequently and 1099 data is often wrong. It will not raise any red flags with the IRS. You may ask your broker to issue a new 1099 but, they probably won't.
If you type the 1099-b in yourself which I always highly suggest, after entering there will be a screen "select any less common adjustments that apply"
You will choose both
"the reported holding period (Short term) is incorrect" and
"The cost basis on my statement is incorrect" where a box will allow you to enter the correct cost basis.
Or if you imported them:
