The information on Form 2439 is reported on Schedule D. It will flow to your Schedule D when it is entered into TurboTax.
To enter Form 2439 go to "Investment Income" and select "Undistributed Capital Gains" or you can search for "Form 2439" in the top right corner of your screen and select "jump to" that section.
If your mutual fund sends you a Form 2439: Notice to Shareholder of Undistributed Long-Term Capital Gains you increase your basis by the amount of undistributed capital gain that you include in income, and reduce your basis by the amount of tax paid by the fund on the undistributed gain (both amounts are reported to you on Form 2439). And, don’t forget to claim a tax credit on your 2022 Form 1040 for the amount of tax paid by the fund in 2022.
