You can take a tax deduction if you can determine the basis. If the shares "hit your account," that implies you didn't buy them, so they were likely given to you as a result of some sort of corporate action (spin-off?). If that is the case, they should have been recorded as a dividend when they were awarded with a value set by the parent company.
2009 is ancient history in tax land, digging out the basis is going to be a chore, but it may be worth it if you think the basis is high enough. $1.20 per share is quite a sum for 6+M shares, over $7M... I'd like to get to a spot where I didn't know where $7M showed up in my account 14 years ago...
