1099B form - long term non covered vs non reported (box E or box F) ?

In the form 1099B that I got from my broker, it says the following - "LONG-TERM TRANSACTIONS FOR WHICH BASIS IS AVAILABLE BUT NOT REPORTED TO THE IRS - Report on Form 8949, Part II, with Box E checked."

But when filling the details online, I see 2 options:

Box F = Long term not reported

Box E = Long term not covered

According to the definition above, box F = not reported

but why does the my 1099B form says - "with Box E checked" ??

Which one should I select?

F is when both sales proceeds and cost are not reported. in your situation proceeds but not cost was reported so E is correct.
