You might want to consider deleting your import and manually entering summary totals by category.  To do so in TurboTax, with your return open:

 

  • Click on Search and type in "Form 1099-B"
  • Click on "Jump to 1099b"
  • Answer Yes to "Did or will you receive a 1099-B form or brokerage statement for these sales? "
  • Click on "I'll type it in myself"
  • Answer the questions about employee stock, etc.
  • Click on "Let's enter a summary" button and click Continue
  • Enter your Investment Sale information and repeat until you have entered for each category.

 

After entering all your category summaries, Look for "To finish reporting these sales, follow the mailing instructions" and click on the link for these instructions:

 

Mailing Instructions

 

Take a moment to double-check that your statements are complete. For each sale listed, there should be:

 

 - A Description

 - Date Acquired

 - Date Sold

 - Sales Price

 - Cost Basis

 - Gain or loss for each sale

 - A sale category based on how the sale was reported to you and the IRS

 

In some uncommon cases, there will be an adjustment code and adjustment amount.

 

NOTE: Any sales summaries that include only Box A or Box D sales, and which have no adjustments to gain/loss, do not need to be included on a statement mailed to the IRS.

 

Here's how to mail your statements:

 

If you are e-filing your tax return, then mail your statements along with Form 8453 to:

 

 Internal Revenue Service

 Attn: Shipping and Receiving, 0254

 Receipt and Control Branch

 Austin, TX 73344-0254

 

If you are not e-filing, then mail your statements with your entire tax return to your local IRS office.

 

* The questions you are asked by the program may vary depending upon what, if anything, you may have already entered related to investment sales.

the first thing to do is attempt to e-File. a lot of those "needs review" messages can be ignored.
