1099B import - zero cost basis imports as blank
Greetings -
I have imported a 1099-B from an investment account that includes thousands of transactions. Included in the transactions are ~1000 "buy to cover" transactions that have a cost basis of zero.
The import appears to view the value of $0.00 as blank. This will require me to make ~1000 edits where I enter $0.00 in the blank field. When I look at a downloaded pdf copy of the 1099-B I can see the value of $0.00 in the cost basis.
Is there any way for me to:
- View or edit the import either before (or after) loading it into TurboTax so I can more quickly update the blanks to $0.00?
- More quickly update the values to $0.00 rather than working though every single transaction individually (I've already looked through Step by Step and Forms)
Is it perhaps better to skip the import completely and manually type in the summarized 1099-B info?
The company providing the download is Pershing Advisor Solutions LLC (a BNY Mellon company). This has happened for several years with them and I've usually spent time manually entering the zero values but the number of transactions this year is just too large.
Thanks for any assistance.
