A few comments:
- This is a brand new form, so I am sure there will be issues in completing this form for the next year or so.
- Appears you have read the instructions, at least for line 8a. Are you required to complete this form?
- There could be situations where it is not required; albeit only a few. If this is the case, at least you can move forward this year.
- Having said that, this form provides the taxpayer a consistent format to maintain their tax basis. Whether this form is completed within TT when required, or outside of TT if not required, I still believe it is best to complete it.

Also keep in mind the date of replies, as tax law changes.
