Handling of escrow payout after a private company acquisition shares of which I had through NSO. Does TT handle form 8949 ?

Long time ago I worked for a privately held company and I got a small number of "NSO" shares. In 2022, this company was acquired by another private company by an all cash deal, I believe. The company managing the acquisition paid out about 90% of the  but kept the rest in an escrow account. They are releasing money from this escrow account little by little. (The last payout will be in 2025.)

For 2023 tax, I used a CPA to file my tax because my situation was a complicated. He filed form 8949 to handle the escrow payout.

 

I attempted to follow his filing method and tried to fill the form 8949. But it seems TT (Mac Desktop) does not allow me to fill the form 8949 directly.  How do I report this income? If I chose the regular 1099-B entering screen, the questions TT ask me to fill enter does not quite make sense for this situation. Can TT handle the escrow payouts?
