The 1099-Bs are PART of the pdf 1099 files I have -- there is also information on dividends, interest, etc.
I did not enter information manually. It came from the two 1099 pdfs.
I actually had trouble uploading the pdfs -- I did not see how I could enter two of them, only one. I don't exactly remember how I got the information from the other one entered. It can't have been doing it manually, except for one part that had only two entries. Maybe I did discover how to upload both of them.
I did delete them and re-upload more than once -- it did not change the negative basis warning.
As for entering information manually, that would be a MAJOR pain. There are dozens of sales of stock on each 1099. Making mistakes entering information would be likely -- besides being a PAIN.
I have thought about trying to file the return with the IRS in spite of the message that tells me I can't -- if I ignore the warning and continue with the form until its end, it offers me ways to pay, and maybe that means I could just file in spite of saying I can't?
