TT is generating a Form 8949 for transactions not reported to the IRS. However, all of the transactions have been reported to the IRS (1099-B) and I have checked that box in the interview section. How do I eliminate the Form 8949 and ensure these transactions show on Sched D as having been reported to the IRS?

You still use the 8949 to report the transactions, even if the basis has already been reported to IRS.

transactions not reported to IRS - category C or F

transactions with basis not reported to IRS - category B or E

Make sure your transaction entries are put into the correct Box Categories.

this is what happens if you import from a brokerage.  TT has had this issue for years.  if you imported you need to delete the import  then use the 1099-B worksheet to enter the summary for the transactions with basis reported

What? Use of the summary option is optional. If the transaction detail is imported (and is correct and complete) you're done.
