If your financial institution isn't available to import, you can still enter the data. 

 

Here's how to do this in TurboTax Online:

  1. Navigate to Federal Taxes in the upper left, then Wages and Income.
  2.  Add or Edit Investments and Savings (1099-B, 1099-INT, 1099-DIV, 1099-K, Crypto) > Add/Edit
  3. Choose Add Investments
  4. Choose "Enter a different way" 
  5. Select 1099-B and continue
  6. Either upload or choose "Type it in myself"
  7. Enter the information from the 1099-B requested in the interview
