conversation: User (benbernards): "My 1099 shows cost basis as $0, and the brokerage firm says they don't report it there, but I can find it inside the account's 'Gains &amp; Losses' page. \n\nMy company, however, says the cost basis is $0. \n\nI don't know who to believe? "
  Self: "It's not right.  You need to compute your cost basis based on a fair market value from your employer."
  User (benbernards): "That's what I was thinking. \n\nAll things considered, Cost Basis is usually the cost per share at the time it was sold, minus any fees, right? (so I could view my transaction history and see the share's cost at the moment of sale and use that?)"
  Self: "No, it's the closing price on the date the RSU's vested times the number of shares.  If you sold them the same day it may be the same."
  User (benbernards): "Got it. Thanks!"
