4. choose Investments and Savings and click on the down arrow on the right
5. Click on Stocks, Cryptocurrency, Mutual Funds, Bonds, Other (1099-B)
6. Did you sell any investments?

7. Did you receive a form 1099-B or brokerage statement? 
   1. No
8. Select Other (other investment purpose) from the list of investments.
