You can report your foreign Capital Gain/Loss as if you had a 1099-B, in the Investments section of Wages & Income, under Stocks, Crypto, Mutual Funds, Bonds, Other. 

 

Choose 'stocks, bonds, mutual funds', then 'skip import', Indicate that you will enter your sales 'one by one'.  Choose long term or short term as appropriate; not reported to IRS. 

 

TurboTax will prepare Form 8949 for you, based on your entries.

 

If you paid Foreign Tax on this income, you can take a Foreign Tax Credit.
