How to report sales fee from crypto sale

Hi I am manually entering my crypto sales (not using/did not receive 1099 form)

 

In the sales section I have two input boxes1.png

 

For "Proceeds" (the sale) I entered in the sales amount (but did not include the crypto exchange sales fee from the sale)

 

For "Cost" I entered the cost of the initial purchase of the crypto plus the crypto exchange purchase fee

 

Now my question is, where do I put the crypto exchange sales fee since we do not put that in the "Proceeds" input box

 

Thanks!

After you enter the proceeds and cost basis, click Continue. The next screen asks if you paid sales expenses, and gives you a box to enter the expenses.


The sales expenses will be reported on Form 8949 as an adjustment to the gain or loss, with adjustment code E.

Thank you!  So in the box for "Sales expenses not reported" shown below is where the crypto exchange sales fees goes then?

 

As an example, if I sold bitcoin for $20,000 (not including the sales fee) and Coinbase took a sales fee of $500 from that bitcoin sale, then in the box for "Sales expenses not reported" shown below I would put $500?

@nbgoku  Yes, that's correct. That's where you enter the sales fee.
