How to enter a 1099-B with box 5 checked
I see a previous answer to this question that doesn't really answer the question. What it says is to report those sales on a Form 8949, which I don't have. An older version question (2019) said to choose sales category B or E to avoid having to enter the information that doesn't appear on the 1099-B, but I don't see those designations in the current version.
From the IRS site:
When selling a noncovered security and reporting it on a separate Form 1099-B, you may check box 5 and leave boxes 1b, 1e, 1f, 1g, and 2 blank.
How do I get Turbo Tax to accept this form without the otherwise required information?
