have your broker remove the stock from your account.

Then you will get a 1099-B -- for 2021.

Broker form shows ONLY gain,s,  NOT those WORTHLESS Stocks where the corporation went bankrupt. 

 

On TurboTax - it must have a place to show these LOSSES.    Where is that in TurboTax ?  I am using Premium, but still, this option is not there.

I am using TT Premium, and expect it must be all bug-free. 

 

Why TT is using customers to test their online filing software?   

 

It is not the job of customers to find and report these defects. 

 

RATING OF TURBOTAX = VERY POOR

broker form doesn't show them because you did not dispose of them.

Have the broker dispose of them for $0.00 or $1.00 for everything.

the issue here is not what the broker stated in his form (or if the broker did not show those worthless stocks). 

 

I want to enter the honest and true stock's value after the company bankruptcy, and TT does not provide the option to enter it, and also does not calculate it when all corrected figures have been entered in TT.

you can't report a loss if you did not dispose of the securities. they are still in your account.

what did you plan to enter for  "Date Disposed" ?
