2.  Choose Investment Income, and Stocks, Mutual Funds, Bonds and Other.

3.  You will Yes to the next two pages that you have sales to report and you have a 1099-B.

4.  The next page is where you will import.  Type in the name of your brokerage firm or choose from the boxes, Continue.

5.  The next page will require you to type your brokerage User Name and Password and click on box that you aren't a robot.

6.  There will be an additional security measure to click on the pictures that they ask you to match, Continue.

What do you want to import?

Importing 1099 forms

But It is just as fast and easy to manually enter it.  When you enter a 1099 the first screen is How to Enter, by Import or Enter it Myself. Scroll down and click the last circle to enter it myself.

Are you wanting to manually correct your W-2 or something else?  Please clarify.

 

In TurboTax online, follow these steps to edit or correct a W-2.

  • Down the left side of the screen, click on Federal.
  • Across the top of the screen, click on Wages & Income.
  • Under Your income, scroll down to W-2.
  • Click on Edit/Add to the right of W-2.
  • Click on the W-2 to be corrected or edited.
  • Enter the data from the form and answer the interview questions.

TurboTax Help explains how to import a W-2.
