Deductions & credits

This isn't a good solution.

The sales (if you import 1099-B) are already in there as 1099-B sales.  TT 2023 (and before) had ability to just switch the type of sale from stock, etf, etc., to "collectible", and it would then calculate everything correctly.

TT 2024 blew it and removed the ability to select "collectible".  Now you have to either remove the entries from 1099-B step-by-step area and manually re-enter them all (an unworkable pain in the ass).  Or I guess you override box f and enter a "C" in it in form 8949?  I don't know if TT 2024 handles that correctly.  Because it complains about that being an "error" in the final check of your return if you manually put in the "C".

Whoever did 2024 made stupid decisions. It has a clunky interface in the 1099b section (asking a several questions when you enter it, making it a pain to just go back into it), and it missing this critical need of "collectible" for anyone who trades etf's that are collectibles.  Makes TT 2024 unworkable.

Bad job, TT.
