If a stock has a spinoff, did I pay zero dollars for that stock at tax time?

I had a stock that spun off about a year ago. Now, if I end up selling it... how do I determine what I paid for this stock when it comes time to do taxes? Really, I paid zero for it. But the day I received it, the spin off company was at around $7.
