If you are missing box 1d, look for a line that is called Proceeds or Gross Proceeds.  This is what box 1d is , however some issuers will give a composite statement that contain all the information you need, they just don't format it quite the same as the 1099-B.  There also  may be a supplemental information section where you can find this information.    If they did not give you the amount for the proceeds, you will need to call the issuer to get that information.  It is possible that this is a non-reportable transaction, however, it is best not to assume and to be sure that the form does not contain errors.

Thank you for the update and regarding a future enhancement to the form in TurboTax. The form does show in the Desktop version.    If you wanted to get the form to print even though it is otherwise not needed in your return, you could go back to the Underpayment Penalty interview and select the option to request a waiver of the penalty.    @cdd1960
