As you continue through the interview you will be able to manually enter each transaction.

  1. Box 1e is the Cost or basis.
  2. If it blank on your 1099-B, leave it blank.
  3. Just below that is a check box The cost basis is incorrect or missing on my 1099-B.
  4. Let us know if any of these situations apply to this sale
  5. Select None of the above.
  6. I know my cost basis and need to make an adjustment.
  7. Enter your adjusted cost basis.
