Question

Cost Basis Reported

My 1099 indicates that the cost basis was provided to the IRS and when asked in TT, I checked the box that said it was reported. However, I noticed when reviewing my tax form the box that said it was not reported was checked. I don't understand why. I double checked to make sure I had checked off the right box in the step by step.  I did an override and changed it on the form to check the correct box, but then I get an error message that says it might cause issues when things are being cross-checked. Is this an issue with TT itself or is there something I am not understanding. Thank you so much.

Check your entries. Any transactions with cost basis reported to the IRS are either Box A or Box D transactions. You should have to override.

 

 

You will not be able to e-file with overrides. Additionally, an override voids the TurboTax 100% Accurate Calculation Guarantee.

Thank you for your response. I will delete and enter again (for the third time) and will see what happens.

It is for a partnership and I am filing a 1065. 


Please clarify if you are entering summary information for each type of sale. Also, on Schedule D under the Exception statement, is Line B2 marked "Yes"?
