We have a sale of Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) which was reported to us on a Form 1099-B that advised us to complete Form 8949 with box B checked ("Short-term transactions reported on Form 1099-B showing basis wasn't reported to the IRS"). However, TurboTax enters the RSU sale with box C checked ("Short-term transactions not reported to you on Form 1099-B"). We seem unable to amend this. How can we make the correction?
Edit: the answer below from TomYoung is exactly correct -- we had gone down the wrong interview path initially, and had tried to correct it later to no avail. But deleting the sale and re-entering it correctly worked just fine. Thanks TomYoung for your insight!
I expect that you told TurboTax that you DIDN'T get a 1099-B as that's the path that gets trades marked as Box C or Box F. I'd advise simply deleting the sale and re-doing it. Say "yes" to 1099-B question and select "Box B - Short Term Noncovered" on the "Tell us about your [Broker Name] 1099-B" page.

I have this same problem with a trade in an imported broker's 1099 (interview method not used). (I did not tell TurboTax that I didn't get a 1099.) In TurboTax the trade correctly shows Box B applies, but the resulting Form 8949 categorizes it as Box C.
A possible clue to this apparent TurboTax error: This trade is unusual in that it involves a publicly traded partnership for which I received a K-1 form. I can try deleting and reentering the trade, but if this is a TurboTax error, it needs to be fixed.
