no, they are not tax free. The dividends are taxed in the year paid. The dividend reinvestment is a purchase of stock just as if you used cash. You have to track every single purchase transaction of stock from every reinvestment to keep track of the cost basis of each stock, so as to cost it out when you sell. Motley fool has some nice info on this

The cost basis is the original value of an asset adjusted for stock splits, dividends or capital distributions. It is used to figure capital gain or loss for tax purposes
Cost basis is equal to cost basis of original grantor plus any gift tax paid (the same as if the beneficiary had received the stock directly as a gift)
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.

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 .

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.
