Does anyone know where Box A and Box B are located on these 1099?

I have multiple 1099 of these but as the Turbo Tax analyzes this, it is asking me for

Short-term- Box A

Short-term - Box B

It is asking for the sales proceeds and cost basis for each of these. The other papers not pictured is just the stocks bought and sold that totals up to these.

The screenshot you provided is a Form 1099 Composite. This form includes several different areas, which are entered as separate forms in TurboTax in Wages & Income>Investments and Savings.

The forms shown on the 1099 Composite you provided are:

1099-DIV (dividend income)
1099-INT (interest income)
1099-MISC (miscellaneous income)
1099-B (Proceeds from broker and barter exchange transactions)

Short-term Box A is for covered transactions (basis reported to IRS).

Short-term Box B is for noncovered transactions (basis not reported to IRS).

You can find these totals on Form 1099 Composite in the Tax Summary/ Summary of Sale Proceeds.
