Yoou are probably dealing with transactions marked for Box B or Box E.


For non-covered securities ( BOX B or E) showing zero (wrong) basis, enter the correct basis yourself.
Use code "B" and put -0- in col (g).

This means you enter the basis from your own records or calculations.


For Box A or D, leave basis as reported, use Code "B" and put an adjustment in col(g).
If the basis is not reported to IRS, there's nothing to adjust.

If you check the box indicating you have other boxes on your 1099-B to enter, TurboTax will do it this way.
