Deductions & credits

I struggled with the same issue you had and follow the steps recommended, but still the question wasn't showing up after the disaster fund as shown.

I have only crypto interested reported with 1099-MISC, so I had no entries for cryptocurrency sales on Schedule D.

 

But I found a workaround to this:

- add a dummy crypto transaction, entered manually (you can make up the cost basis and dates, since you'll delete it later)

- now go through the wrap up income once again, the cryptocurrency question should now appear, select the correct choice

- go back to the income section and delete the dummy entry

- repeat the wrap up income once again

- to double check, go to Tools->Print center and see the return preview, you should now see a different box checked on the 1040 form

 

I think there's a bug in the software that doesn't trigger the question to reappear when wrapping up the income again. But changing a condition, e.g. adding a dummy crypto transaction if it was not there before, would trigger the question again.

It took me days to figure this out, so hopefully this might be helpful to someone else!
