Anyone else have their 1099-B that Turbotax Desktop 2025 ( Home and Business ) import options incorrectly? When pulling in my eTrade ( electronically) all the values are correct, but it consistently treats all Securities listings in the 1099-B as exclusively stock rather that interpreting the obvious "CALL SPY 03/20/25 250.00" ( fake example ) as an option. ( not to mention the CUSIPs should be a dead giveaway.)
This did not seem to be a problem last year or any previous year. ( though it may be a case of TurboTax trying to be too smart for its own good... I'm not sure why it cares what kind of security it is since I believe it's all reported the same way )
I don't have a ton of transactions to correct here, but I wanted to raise as a potential bug/improvement if other people are seeing the same issue.
P.S. Also, a nitpick: if you correct it to be an option in the entry, it then asks you to mark it sold or expired. If you select expired it automatically changes the proceeds to $0, even though the Proceeds box 1d had a value in it prior to reclassifying ( as is the case if a short/written contract expires ) . I can accept this second issue as semantics, I suppose, since I sold to open originally, but it seems to go against convention.

the dropdown for the product shouldn't matter it's just turbotax trying to be clever - mainly for options and then gets it wrong for expired short options. Form 8949 doesn't care about stock vs. bond vs. option it just wants the 1099B boxes and gain/loss.
