You don't need a 1099-B to enter stock sales ... they go in the same section so .... you just say you don't have that form and you can then enter the sales.

Your total capital gains for the year minus your total capital losses result in a net gain or a net loss.

You can deduct a net loss of up to $3,000 ($1,500 if married filing separately). Any capital loss you couldn't deduct this year can be carried forward and deducted on future tax returns as a capital loss carryover.
