I'm using TT deskstop and upgraded to live help to resolve this issue. I spent almost 2 hours to be told to use the work around indicated here (adjusting the cost basis, meaning adding the cost basis indicated on the 1099b and the income reported on W-2 for this sale). It's infuriating that the TT "experts" would not acknowledge there was a problem.
My problem now is that no form 8949 was generated; the sale is reported schedule D line 1a even though I have an adjustment. So, I spent another 2 hours on the phone with TT who said since there were no errors found in the smart check my return was okay.
any ideas if I will have a problem not submitting a form 8949 like all the previous years when I reported a NQSO?
