Is it ok to just use an avg price for the missing purchase on the sch D-1? Would the ombudsman's office be able to look up such a detail? if u are dealing with equities, the answer is definitely no. although there ar 4 ways to calculate cost basis with mutual funds (one of which is averaging), there are only two with equities. either specific shares, or fifo.
