How do I add an adjustment for the cost basis of some stocks I sold?
I sold some (RSU) stocks earlier this year and need to correct the cost basis, relative to the one provided on my 1099B. I'm using TurboTax Premier Online.
If I check the box 'The cost basis is incorrect or missing on my 1099-B' TurboTax puts my corrected cost basis in column (e) of 8949 Part II. As I understand it, I need the cost basis from my 1099 to appear in column (e), then code B in column (f) and an adjustment figure in column (g). I can't find any way to get TT to do this.
Even if I type in the 1099 cost basis and detail all of the vestings and sales that lead to my corrected cost basis, it still puts the corrected value into column (e), rather than detailing the adjustment.
Annoyingly, TT shows a line for each sale in the input form that includes an 'adjustment' column, but there doesn't seem to be any way to apply a value to it.
Can anyone help?
