My 1099-B only lists Gross Proceeds and Cost or Other Basis amounts. How do I enter this?

It asks for sales, but I have no info on that.

 

Do you have an IRS form 1099-B that does not include purchase date and/or sales date?  Or something else?  Please clarify.

 

There are cases when the issuer of the IRS form 1099-B does not have the information or is not required to report the information that they have.  

 

You may have to refer to your personal records including sales tickets to locate the information that is needed.
