TurboTax won't let me put in unknown? What amount do I put in the cost basis box?
If the basis is unknown that means that the broker does not know what you paid for the security. If you have no idea either - and no way to find out - then you will have to put zero in the basis. That means you will pay taxes on the full amount that you sold it for.
