I imported my 1099B from the broker and the short term and long term sales are all eligible to be entered directly on Schedule D on line 1a and 8a without the need to use form 8949. However, Turbo Tax (TT) entered the sales on line 1b and 8b. I attempted to correct the entries on the 1099-b worksheet by entering the proceeds and cost in the box "form 8949 reporting exception transactions" When I did this TT simply entered the values on lines 1a and 8a and 8b and 8b which doubled the correct amount. Does anyone know how I can get the proper entries on Schedule D? Will modifying the Schedule D, cause me to not be able to electronically file the return?

jjo1,
If you are e-filing, why do you want to override TurboTax listing the individual entries? Are the totals so different due to rounding that you expect to save a few bucks on taxes?

You have to delete the relevant imported transactions, and then do what you did.
There is a command to delete all imported transactions which may be simpler.
It may delete everything and then you would start over.
