Thanks George. This is helpful but I don't understand what and how to edit the information I have and I am seeking some input on what to do. My wife and I have several entries on our 1099B's from Vanguard. In the section"proceeds from Broker and Barter exchange transactions" the numbers are reported as positive numbers in a column labeled "1d-proceeds & 6- reported gross or net". Cost basis factors are provided in a column labeled "additional information". I don't think I need the cost basis factors as it appears the numbers I need are already provided. Near the end of the 1099B, the same numbers show up in the fees and expenses section as negative (-) numbers. I imported my 1099B and these showed up in the income & expenses section as needing more information. My initial reaction was to ignore this and delete the entries since the numbers are small (4.83) and its a fee so dealing with this would be to my benefit and the IRS won't care. However the numbers my wife has are considerably larger. Since this appears to be a fee it seems like I could go to the stocks, mutual funds ect, sales reported, find the GLD transactions (all short term), edit this and enter then numbers as a fee in the interview process. then delete the other entries that need more information. However, in the 1099B section "proceeds from Broker and Barter exchange transactions", the directions are to report this information on form 8949 part I with box B checked or part II with box E checked. In that case I don't know what the basis would be. Any advice on this will be much appreciated.
