The Schedule D is the form that is produced from information put into TurboTax in the Investment Income section>Stocks, Mutual Funds, Bonds, Other. 

 

If you received a 1099-B you may be able to download the information from your broker into TurboTax, or you can enter the information yourself.

You said: "If you received a 1099-B you may be able to download the information from your broker into TurboTax, or you can enter the information yourself..."  BUT - "enter the information" WHERE??  There does not appear to be any place to enter it....

No, that doesn't work.  That link says:

2. "In TurboTax, search for 1099-B and then select the Jump to link in the search results.

I tried several ways to "...search for 1099-B and then select the Jump..."  

That does \nt seem to work, no matter what I tried... I have TTax Home&Business.  I have already filled out the return and want to know how to add unrealized cost basis info.  There doesn't seem to be any way to do that under the Persona Income 1099-B setup...

To enter your securities sales information from your 1099-B, you can do the following:

  1. Go back into your program and select the Personal tab. 
  2. Then select Personal Income. 
  3. Select the blue box that says I'll choose what I work on
  4. Scroll down and select Update to the right of Stocks, Mutual Funds, Bonds, Other under the Investment Income section. 
  5. You will be able to select Add More Sales on the screen titled Here's all the investment accounts we have so far.  If your stock sales are already listed if you imported them, you can select Edit to the right of the applicable stock sale where you need to enter additional information.

 

Once you select the appropriate section above, you will enter your detailed information in the screen titled Tell us about your ... 1099-B.
