I received div. reinvestments in stock I owned for more than 10 yrs and was liquidated in 2017. Do I need to report each indiv reinvestment as acq. or just final total?

If you received a dividend reinvestment within 12 months of the sale date, then you need to break the sale into 2 parts-long-term and short-term.  The short term sale would be for the shares purchased with the reinvestment during the last 12 months prior to the sale.  The long-term sale would be for the total shares bought with the total of all reinvested dividends more than 12 months before.  You only need these 2 transactions, not one for each reinvestment.
