Do not know stock basis

[fvillalta]

The account manager sold stocks and I had a capital gain.

Do not know purchase date, cost, or gain.

The stock was originally part of a 401k.

The 401k was dissolved and you either: (1) to keep your position you had to buy additional stock or (2) Get your money.

I picked (1).

Am I forced to report zero basis on my return?

Is there anything else I could do?
