To edit Form 1099-B in TurboTax, return to the original entry and click Edit next to the transaction.

 

After a few screens, you will see Review your sales. Click the pencil icon next to the sale to edit.

 

Scroll down to the bottom of the next screen. There is an opportunity here to make changes to the cost basis, but select Continue.

 

The next screen is: Let us know if any of these situations apply to this sale, and include the option: I paid sales expenses that aren't included in the sale proceeds reported on the form

 

When this box is checked, a box appears that you can enter the amount for: Sales expenses not reported on Form 1099-B.

 

For general information, see; Where do I enter a 1099-B?

I don't see what you are talking about....all I have is to select "cost basis is incorrect or missing on my 1099-b and then it basically just asks me to put it in again.

Enter the additional expense here.

 

Sales expenses are for any sales expenses you paid that were not already subtracted from the gross sale proceeds to get the amount of sale proceeds (reported in Box 1d if you have a 1099-B form).

 

 

 

Sales expenses aren't common for stocks and other securities (for securities, sales expenses are usually already subtracted from the gross proceeds to get the amount reported in 1d).
