Retirement tax questions

You have two options. Since you're familiar with Forms, this is probably your best choice.

  1. In the forms list on the left, find Form 1009-B Wks for this sale (the brokerage or description you used will appear in parentheses). Open the Cap Asset Sales form that is listed under this worksheet.
  2. The basis you entered will be in the Quick Entry Table in a blue font - you can change any number in blue.
  3. Make your change.
  4. Now open Form 8949 to confirm the result is as expected.

Your second option is to return to the Step-by-Step topic where you entered this sale.

  1. The easiest way to find this section is to use the Search box in the upper right corner of the TurboTax header.
  2. Type in "1099-b" and hit Enter. Click on "jump to 1099-b" to go directly to that topic.
  3. This will bring up a list of all investment sales you have entered.
  4. Click on "Edit" beside the sale you need to review and follow the prompts.
