If you buy 1000 shares of a stock with a 10 Commission and then sell 100 of it with a commission of 10 and then sell 900 later with a 10 comission what is the cost basis of the 100 and 900 shares sold?
To determine cost basis you want to take the total amount paid + commission and calculate your cost per share. Lets say the stock was $10 per share and you bought 1000 shares with a commission of $10. Total cost would be $10,010. Divide that number by 1000 to get your cost per share. This equals $10.01 per share. If you sold 100 shares your cost basis is $1001. If you sold 900 shares your cost basis is $9009. To go one step further when you sell the stock subtract the commission from the sales proceeds. If you sold 100 shares of the stock at $15 with a $10 dollar commission then your total sales proceeds will be $1490. Now just take the sales proceeds of $1490 - the cost basis of $1001 to determine your capital gains or losses. In this example you have a gain of $489. Use this same process to determine gains and losses for the other 900 shares.

What cost basis of stock acquired by transfer on death when it is sold?
The cost basis of stock acquired by transfer on death (TOD) when it is sold is typically the fair market value of the stock on the date of the original owner's death. This is known as a "stepped-up" cost basis. This means that any potential capital gains or losses upon the sale of the stock will be calculated based on the value at the time of the original owner's death, rather than their original purchase price.

My family inherited ATT stock. With all the spin offs and mergers how can I personally find out what is outstanding?
First what do you mean by outstanding? If you are looking for your cost basis. You need to look at the date of death for when you received the inheritance. The price of the stock on that date is your beginning cost basis. You may then need to use some worksheet to calculate basis given the different corporate events .
