Cost Basis Date:  4/3/1999  12:29 PM Author:  irish2gal Number: 
13538 of 121585  This is the first year that I've had to file
schedule D and I'm not sure how to do so. I received 1099Bs due
to a bank merger and need to figure out the cost basis. I was
told by the IRS that I had to add in the stock splits and
dividend reinvestments. I've read their instructions and still
don't understand. Can anyone help?  Thank you!
