Form 1099-B is the form your broker sends you.  It reports your investment sales. You report the information on your Form 1099-B on your tax return by completing Form 8949.  To enter your Form 1040 in TurboTax:

 

  • Click on "Search"
  • Type "1099-B" in the search window and hit "Enter"
  • Click on "Jump to 1099-b"
  • Answer "Yes" to Did you sell any investments in 2024?
  • Answer "Yes" to "Did you get a 1099-B or a brokerage statement for these sales?
  • You can either download your 1099-B information or Enter it yourself.  

TurboTax will guide you through the rest of the process of reporting your investment sales.
