Form 8949 for sale of partial share of stock

[Doug_S]

My brokerage account, which will not download into Turbo Tax, indicates a sale of a partial share of stock from a stock split last April. They indicate the information of the sale amount was sent to the IRS and provide line numbers and amounts for form 8949. And yet there is no way to access or update a form 8949.

Simply enter a sale of stock and it will populate on Form 8949 automatically if needed.  TurboTax will carry the information where it is required.
