You report that sale in the same section where you would report the sale of General Motors, or any other stock.  While working in your return:

 

  • In the income section, Select Investments and Savings....
  • On the page "Did you have investment income in 2024?"  Answer Yes
  • On the page "Let's Import your tax info" click on "Enter a different way"
  • Select "Stocks, Bonds, Mutual Funds" on the OK let's start with one investment type
  • When asked "Which bank or brokerage is on our 1099-B?" Give a description of the investment for the bank or brokerage, leave the other fields blank. Click Continue
  • Answer the next three questions
  • Answer Yes to "Did you buy every investment listed...."
  • Select "One by One"
  • Continue past the "1099-B"
  • On the page "Now, enter one sale..." for Sales section, select either "Short-term did not receive 1099-B form" or "Long-term did not receive 1099-B form"
  • For type of investment select Stock & give a brief description
  • Enter the date acquired and the date sold
