Cost not Reported?
If client is unable to get cost form brokerage company-- you can contact your local library research department, or use a search tool on-line like this one: 
  • bigcharts.marketwatch.com/historical/default.asp  My local library shared this site with me since I lost the one I had used.
  • https://www.marketwatch.com/   THIS SITE IS AMAZING!
  • Yahoo Finance (Stock Prices)
    Stock prices going back to the 1970s may be available on this site.
    Begin by doing a search using the company ticker symbol. Then choose "Historical Prices" from the blue bar on the left.
    Choose start and end date. Choose whether you need daily, weekly, or monthly data. Add ticker symbol and click on "Get Prices." Data is from CSI Commodity Systems Inc. Disclaimers and FAQ appear at the bottom of the page.

Below are more examples of different statements you may see


American Enterprise Investment Services-Sample Brokerage Statement (Interesting Scenario--please review this one)  **Make sure you ALWAYS flip through the entire Brokerage statement to make sure there isn't another tax form buried in it somewhere else-even at the end
Picture
Here is the Corrected Brokerage Statement the client got in May--I amended the return to reflect the changes (and to enter the missed 2nd statement that was buried in brokerage statement shown above).

Older but still good:
I wanted to share some different types of Brokerage statements, how to enter them, and what to watch for.
Remember to use your PUB 4012 and PUB 17 if you have questions.

Please note: I, Mary Meador, AM NOT a certified accountant or tax law expert. I volunteer with VITA providing free tax preparation for individuals and families whose income is less than $66,000 a year. We deal with simple returns at our sites.  I cannot guarantee the accuracy of all the information on this site as tax laws change and I may not have a clear understanding of complicated issues. I am trying to provide basic tax preparation information for our volunteers to get started--remember Publication 4012 is your go-to resource for questions, as well as irs.gov and Publication 17.  I hope you find this information useful and easy to understand. Thanks for being a VITA/TCE volunteer!
**I am human, so if you find a mistake, please let me know so I can fix it--we are all in this together**
