Get your taxes done using TurboTax

I need to get to form 8949 and do not have a Jump Link on my premier online software.  HELP!


There is no "Jump to" link for a Form 8949.   In Online TurboTax you cannot go directly to the Form 8949.  

In Online TurboTax the Form 8949 is prepared in the background when you enter sales of stocks, bonds, mutual funds, etc. from a 1099-B.   To make or edit entries on a Form 8949 you go through the investment interview again for the 1099-B.    

 

In Online TurboTax you can get to the investment sales interview by opening the search box in the top right corner of your online program, and then search on either term 1099-B or Schedule D.   After you enter the term, press your enter key to see the "Jump" to link.,   Do not choose any of the suggestions that drop down while you are typing the term or you won't see the Jump link.   You have to either press "Enter" or click the magnifying glass on that same line.  Again, it will not work for the term Form 8949.

 

Or here's an alternative:

If you don't want to use "Jump to" links, you can use the Topic Search tool:

  • With your return open, click in the left menu column on TAX TOOLS, then TOOLS.
  • In the Tools window choose the blue TOPIC SEARCH button.
  • In the topic search line enter 1099-B or Schedule D without quotes.
  • Make the selection in the list and click GO.
