1982 Date of Death and Cost Basis Taxpayer dies in February, 1982. At the time she has AT&T stock. I have the stock price for AT&T in Feb 1982, but I dod not know the number of shares owned at death. The State Comptrollers Office finds the beneficiary in 2013 and pays her approx $75,000 in unclaimed funds money. At the end of 2013, the Estate gets 14 1099B's from the State which show the sale date, amount, and number of shares from 14 different Telecom companies (probably AT&T spinoffs). We have no records from the deceased. What logical method can I use for calculating the Cost Basis for the 1099B's the Estate received? Any suggestions? |
