On my 1099-B the cost basis is blank, therefore (sale of RSU/SSAR)
On form 8949 if I check Box B on Part 1 and I use Code B in column (f) - do I put the cost basis is column (g)? Turbo Tax Premier is not allowing me to do this. Per instructions from Deloitte this is correct.
If I read IRS instructions for form 8949 it shows this for Code B: You received a Form 1099-B (or substitute statement) and the basis shown in box 1e is incorrect
Do: If this transaction is reported on a Part I with box B checked at the top or if this transaction is reported on a Part II with box E checked at the top, enter the correct basis in column (e), and enter -0- in column (g).
Where does the cost basis go (e) or (g)?
You'll need to sign in or create an account to connect with an expert.
The amount goes in column (e). The cost basis can be entered and should be entered in the actual sale entry.
