How you got the property, for example, by purchase, gift, bequest, inheritance, or exchange,
The approximate date you got the property or, if created, produced, or manufactured by or for you, the approximate date the property was substantially completed, and
The cost or other basis, and any adjustments to the basis, of property held less than 12 months and, if available, the cost or other basis of property held 12 months or more. This requirement, however, does not apply to publicly traded securities.
If you are not able to provide information on either the date you got the property or the cost basis of the property and you have a reasonable cause for not being able to provide this information, attach a statement of explanation to your return.
