Entering Short term and Long term sales directly on Schedule D without needing Form 8949.

I imported my 1099B from the broker and the short term and long term sales are all eligible to be entered directly on Schedule D on line 1a and 8a without the need to use form 8949.  However, Turbo Tax (TT) entered the sales on line 1b and 8b.  I attempted to correct the entries on the 1099-b worksheet by entering the proceeds and cost in the box "form 8949 reporting exception transactions"  When I did this TT simply entered the values on lines 1a and 8a and 8b and 8b which  doubled the correct amount.  Does anyone know how I can get the proper entries on Schedule D?  Will modifying the Schedule D, cause me to not be able to electronically file the return?
