Choose I'll choose what I work on

Then scroll down to Investment Income

Then Stocks, Mutual Funds, Bonds, Other - Click Start or Update

If you see a screen that says….Did you have any of these Investment Sales say YES

If you have a screen showing your Investment Sales Summary - click on + Add More Sales

Next screen should ask Did you get a 1099B - say No

Next screen is Choose the type of investment you sold - Pick the Second One
