1099 Comprehensive form?

[evansdad47]

I am a long term customer of turbo tax. My dad is a retired cpa but he was never savvy with computers. That being said he knows what he want to do but even I am unable to help him get to input information. The comprehensive form has 1099 b, div and misc. He wants to enter the info related to short term gain proceeds or long terms losses located on the bottom. I have searched all over to manually input these numbers for 8949 or a connection to Schedule D. He says he was able to do this last year. Anyone know why?

It sounds like he entered Summary Totals for 1099-Div, 1099-Int and 1099-B transactions.

In the Wages & Income heading, these are three separate topics where totals can be entered.  

Your dad, being a CPA, I would think would favor using TurboTax Desktop, where you can View/Edit/Make Entries directly on the forms in FORMS mode, as well as use the step-by-step interview.

Using his 1099 comprehensive form, here's:

How to Enter 1099-INT

How to Enter 1099-DIV

How to Enter 1099-B

TurboTax prepares Form 8949 for you based on your entries.
