Yes, you report that whole $99,578.32 as the Net Proceeds on the tax return. 

Start here and do some research on the basis of this inherited stock. You can check the box for inherited property with step up in basis (maybe, if the 706 or 8971 was properly filed)

Do you have the 1099B showing the sale?

IRS will be looking at GROSS proceeds and basis to arrive at net proceeds...so you want to be sure that you have the gross amount entered on the return.

Use Schedule D to report the sale.

On the 1099-B it shows that they reports the Net Proceeds to the IRS, would that mean I have to report the 99,578.32 on the tax return?  Thank you for your help by the way!
