This article isn't helpful at all. This is a new issue for tax year 2020. This is extremely bad user experience. Not to mention frustrating.
Like @Anonymous pointed out it does Not ask you whether you received 1099-B or not so this article from an expert is completely useless.
I understand that the tax laws have changed for 2020 (see link below) but the UI is very confusing to not only its users but Customer agents as well. I was on a call with someone who couldn't figure it out for 45 mins or so. She sent me a link that *will surely solve the problem* but did not. I feel like Turbotax is letting its customer be the QA. I don't think this part of the UI was ever tested.

Anyway here's the workaround:
When you add a Bank or brokerage make sure you enter fewer sales 1-4..this way it will allow you to enter every sales record manually.
For every sales record you have to select one of the 6 (or more) values for the required field Sales section. For @jrider4562 it could be Short Term did not receive 1099-B or Long Term did not receive 1099-B. Fill in other details like description of sales, proceeds, cost basis and the transaction dates and then save the record.
A small test you can do after you have saved a sales record is to go back to the record and check the code assigned to the Sales section. Refer to the Specific instructions section here https://www.irs.gov/instructions/i8949 to see if the right code has been assigned or not.
