I sold stock to avoid conflict of interest. I received a certificate of divestiture from the Office of Government Ethics for these stocks. I already filled in section IV of 8824 in TurboTax.
After importing stock sales into TurboTax I am seeing that the capital gains on my stock sales are increasing the tax I owe. I somehow need to adjust the cost basis for the stocks I mention in paragraph 1.
Example: I was forced to sale 100 shares of Amazon.com, for which I realized a $1000 short term gain. I can fill out part IV of 8824 form but after importing stock sale activity from my brokerage I still see the $1000 gain for Amazon.com reported in my 1099-B worksheet.
How do I fix this?
