My client received a1099-B for sale of stock rights without any cost bases. Contacted AST who did not have an answer. How do I determine the cost bases?

What kind of stock right is that?  Employer stock options (which are normally not transferrable) or are these puts and calls or something else?

What in the world is AST?

    American Stock and Transfer.  I believe they are a transfer agent.

      Ask the client how he got them. Have him dig up the paperwork.

      The more I know the more I don’t know.
