During the check smart check feature on the federal portion of the TurboTax it asks for date sold, basis and sales price. I did not get a 1099-B form from Vanguard nor a form 8949. On my December statement I see LT capital gains for BND fund and BNDX fund. How to i complete the information on the Smart Check form for 1099-B worksheet
if you don't have a 1099-B in hand you can't enter a 1099-B and your worksheet should be empty.
capital gains/losses derived inside an IRA a/c are not reported on your personal tax return. however, if you have a regular (taxable) investment a/c and sold securities at a loss in it, then if you purchased a substantially identical security in the IRA within the period starting 30 days before the loss sale and ending 30 days after the loss sale, you have a wash sale. you'll have to do a manual on your 1040 for this
