You have to follow that procedure exactly, including saying no to Stock sale. This is a work-around, you are fooling TT to create the Form 6252. Try it and examine the F6252 it creates, mine looked correct (even for a stock sale, at least to me). Remember only the forms are sent to the IRS, not the questionnaire that created them. If you're not happy with your form then definitely don't use this work-around.
