How to enter a 1099B for futures trading. It is a "Substitute 1099" also has no Document ID so I can't import. Also has no breakdown of trades. Only my totals. Anyone?

It's from TradeStation. They were unable to help me and said to ask a tax pro. I do not want to upgrade just for this 1 document

You will have to upgrade.

 

In your federal return scroll down in the wages and income section to 'Investment Income' and click start next to 'Contracts and Straddles'.  You can enter your 1099 there.

What do you mean when you say upgrade? Currently, I'm trying to file myself online. Do you mean pay a tax pro to file it for me? I can't find this section you mentioned under wages and income..?
