Yes, if you have documented that at the time of sale you identified and sold SPECIFIC shares of stock, then generally, those are the shares sold regardless of the FIFO rule.

Pices,

Call your broker and say you want to "sell x,000 shares of xyz stock versus purchase date of xx/xx/98", using the date of the purchase of the specific shares of stock you want to sell. Your broker confirm statement should then include the "versus purchase xx/xx/98" on it.
