How to track REIT cost basis

Client is invested in a REIT. I have the 1099 from Schwab for the last four years.

They reinvested dividends the entire time.

I see the dividend in box 1a, the return of capital Amount in box 3

They also have 1250 gains and 897 gains as well, but I suspect those aren’t used in the calculation.

Is it just starting basis minus return of capital plus dividends from box 1a?
