Why does your "review" of stock trades not accept my correcting inputs ?

Shall I delete my 1099-B?

[JamesG1]

In some cases, when you Review stock trades, you are required to enter into the income transactions and make corrections.  

In some cases, you need to answer How did you receive this investment? or enter a Cost or other basis or a Date sold or disposed.

Are you saying that you entered answers to:

• How did you receive this investment, or
• Cost or other basis, or
• Date sold or disposed, and

you are not able to save the changes in the software?  Please clarify.

You do have the option of removing your entries and reporting summary information instead of each individual transaction.  Create a .PDF of the IRS form 8949 to upload into TurboTax Online.  Follow these steps.
