Business/Trust turbotax - form 8949 no option to select box "F" in step-by-step

[anastrophe]

I'm puzzled by this. I can select boxes A, B, D, and/or E, but box F - which in this case is a capital loss due to bankruptcy of the company - is not an option. How do I fill out the entry?

UPDATE: I found this question/answer which explains how to do it. I'm still puzzled by why one has to use this circuitous route to add this designation. It's uncommon, but not that uncommon.

In TurboTax Business for Form 1041, enter the information for Form 1099-B Code F under Stocks, Cryptocurrency, etc. using the choice of "No Financial Institution." (The name of the brokerage is optional on Schedule D.)

Be sure you enter dates that indicate a long-term gain/loss for the sale. This entry will appear on Form 8949 Part II with Box F checked and on Schedule D Line 10.

Yes, I know, per the other thread I linked to.

It's ... not a user-friendly approach. I can see no meaningful reason to just exclude the option to fill in  select portions of data that are on a 1099, and not even offer some direction in the application so the user isn't left to...have to come here and ask.
