Hi,
I have foreign brokerage account, with capital gain/loss. I received an “unofficial 1099-B” form from the foreign broker, but it specifically says that the form is unofficial and is not filed with IRS. How do I report short term and long term capital loss using TurboTax?
I tried to enter the capital loss as if I received the 1099-B form, but it would trigger TurboTax to fill out schedule D’s boxes 1a and 8a, instead of boxes 2 and 9. Also, it would not generate form 8949. Is there any way to correct what I’ve entered? (I tried go to schedule D form view and make manual change, but that did not work.) Alternatively, please advise how I can enter the capital loss info from scratch so that the amounts appear in boxes 2 and 9 of schedule D and would generate form 8949.
I use TurboTax Deluxe CD version.
Thanks in advance for your help!
Best regards,
Shirley
