All 1099's can be imported if your institution supports it. Use the same import steps you used for 1099-INT/DIV.  Not all institutions support it, and sometimes you may need to look for your custodian's sign-in instead of, for instance, your direct financial institution.

If there is enough of a gain being reported on her tax return that $3000 of the loss is being used, then you most likely need to file the separate return.  Whether or not the unused carryover loss of $500 will be used for the 2026 return will be determined next year.  Either way, if it is not filed for the 2025 return, then the whole loss will be lost and cannot be claimed later.   Take a look at the following TurboTax help article for some advice about whether a return is required to be filed for your daughter:   Do I need to file my own taxes if I'm a dependent?
