During the year one of the stocks I owned (Liberty Media) spun off from AT&T (it was a tracking stock) through a tax free exchange. They sent me paperwork when it happened, that I kept, which said I needed to file it with my tax return and explained how to do the gain/loss so it would be tax free.

Well, I got my 1099 today (from Ameritrade) and it doesn't list this as a sale, like the instructions said it would in the paperwork that I received from Liberty.

Should I report this or not?

Thanks,
e
