Get your taxes done using TurboTax

As I wait for an answer to my question in my previous post, I'm going to continue on with my stock option sales.

This is how my 1099B looks (and I'll just put info for one of the sales):

1a. Description of Property = 33.0000 Sale

1b. Date Acquired = 04/03/2019

1c. Date Sold or Disposed - 04/03/2019

1d. Proceeds = 6,199.88

1e. Cost Basis - 3,131,37

1f. Accrued Market Discount = 0.00

1g. Wash Sale Loss Disallowed = 0.00

Gain or Loss = 3,068.51

 

So in TT, this is how I entered the information:

Sales Section = Short-term basis reported to IRS (covered)

Sales Info (Boxes 1a-1e):

What type of investment did you sell? I answered Nonqualified stock options (NQSO)

Box 1a = 33.0000

Box 1b - the date this investment was acquired = 04/03/2019

Box 1c - date sold or disposed = 04/03/2019

Box 1d - 6,199.88

Box 1e - 3,131.37

and then I checked the box "The cost basis is incorrect or missing on my 1099B"

I checked this box because the cost basis is incorrect (which is what I'm told to do).
