The downloaded 1099B shows the results of the stock exchange with Alcatel Lucent as 8.8 shares of Nokia, not the exchange of the 16 shares of ALU stock. When I edit the description line on the 8949, it turns red and an error messages states not to change the information because the IRS can't recognize the transaction. The 1099B has the applicable box marked with an "X", cost basis is blank, and number of shares is wrong. This result is a gain for the total proceeds.

I would remove the download of this transaction as the exchange of the shares is messing things up. I would manually enter this in TurboTax.
