If I enter this on a separate paper form 8949 then how will it calculate my taxes, very confuse here. 


You do not use any paper forms. TurboTax will fill out all the necessary forms for you electronically.

it show on statement to enter on form 8949 part 1 with box A checked.


Ignore that. Those instructions are for someone who is doing their entire tax return by hand on paper forms, and is not using tax software. When you look at your completed tax return in TurboTax you should see that TurboTax made the appropriate entries on Form 8949.

For this 2nd page info I did find the screen to input data, as I search the 1099B then I choose I will type myself and enter data for box 1 d, box 1e and gain/loss amount (all summary) 

So please guide me in detail how to do it right.


So it sounds like you found the place to enter the information in TurboTax. That's the right way to do it.


You do not enter the gain or loss. You enter the proceeds and basis. TurboTax calculates the gain or loss.


If you have further questions please tell us what year's tax return you are working on, and whether you are using TurboTax Online or the CD/Download TurboTax software.
