Enter your cost basis which is what you paid for the asset plus any reinvested dividends and interest.

Check the box that states The cost basis is incorrect or missing on my 1099-B

Thanks.. Since it was stock we were given during a demutualization and we did not pay anything, I will enter zero for the cost basis, correct?
