The IRS seems wrong when I paid into that policy for 60 years and then to have the cost basis as 0. That just doesn't make any sense. Is there a mechanism to appeal this?

Actually, TurboTax is agnostic about the correct basis to report here. Maybe the broker put $0 in there, but TurboTax doesn't change that on its own.
