I've imported form 1099 b from Morgan Stanley, it required review. Turbo Tax is asking for an "Adjustment Amount". I'm getting this message.
Check this Entry. Form 1099-B Worksheet (Morgan Stanley Capital MGMT) -- Capital Asset Sales Wksht (1): Adjustment Amount must have a value when an adjustment code (other than C, M, or T) is entered.
What value is needed??
I have the exact same error. Not really obvious how to fix it. I have Before and After trade purchase transactions and the After ones are correct.
I solved this problem. I backed out the MS download and entered it manually.
No issues. Either MS has an issue or TT.
My CX has this same issue. His MS/Etrade (same company) statement has hundreds of transactions and he cannot manually input into TT. He must download the 1099B. Is there another way to resolve this issue?
Right, manually entering isn't a very good workaround either.
stuck in the same spot... im kind of thinking 0 is the answer, since all of these are stock liquidation sales, where i sold all holdings.
but ill await the correct answer
I found a solution. This worked for me.
Exit from the error check window. This is important. DO NOT try to edit Form 8949 directly. You can enter the adjustment amount on the Capital Asset Sales Worksheet. Go into Forms View and you will find
this worksheet. It is listed as Cap Asset Sales in the left side tree. You will probably see the error show up here too. Put a 0 into column G. It will probably be
highlighted,and you can see it is blank. Do this for each error. Close Forms View and run the error check again.
This worked for me. Good luck.
I have the same errors from a Morgan Stanley etrade import.
Normal asset sales show with adjustment code N and the validation refuses to let me proceed as it isnt in the list of codes it accepts ( C, M, T) without a value.
Having to manually enter 0 for several dozen transactions to get past this broken ui validation rule isnt ok.
For some reason the N adjustment code comes in for wash sales as well and Turbotax won't let you proceed with any code at all if you have something in box 1G. It says you have to delete the code but if you do, it just adds it right back in. It seems like this is only happening for 1 of the 2 import files from Etrade. I tried to manually add in the 2 transactions with a wash sale and it just adds in a code of N anyways. I have no idea how to get around this.
Same with me from Morgan Stanley E*Trade 89 Errors
I sure hope they fix this as I just corrected all the none reported entries and lots and it took a very long time so do NOT want to have to do it again!!
Agreed - Manually re-entering a large quantity of these transactions (>5) is not a feasible workaround. I have 30+ which I really don't want to manually re-enter. That's like manually typing everything on a typewriter!
Downloading transactions are expected to SAVE TIME!
⚠️⚠️
Caution if using the 0.00 adjustment workaround
⚠️⚠️
IRS defines Adjustment Code N as:
N = You received a Form 1099-B or 1099-S (or substitute statement) as a nominee for the actual owner of the property.
Report the transaction on Form 8949 as you would if you were the actual owner, but also enter any resulting gain as a negative adjustment (in parentheses) in column (g) or any resulting loss as a positive adjustment in column (g). As a result of this adjustment, the amount in column (h) should be zero. However, if you received capital gain distributions as a nominee, report them instead, as described under Capital Gain Distributions in the Instructions for Schedule D
Similar issue reported here:
Morgan Stanley isn't open until Tuesday (Bank Holiday Monday). Plan to call them - it could be a software issue on their side downloading incorrect data.
I looked at my download file preview from MS, and it included the Adjustment code N in the transactions, which is not right, as this is my account trades, not a nominee.
As others said you can put a zero in but if you still have an N in the sales file. And if you have a transaction with a wash sale, (showing NW) there is no workaround to get out out of an error situation in that case.
I think they need to adjust the ETrade by Morgan Stanley downloadable Sales data to remove the N from the adjustment Code field in the import file on these transactions.
Same issue here 195 errors. I narrowed it down to the change-over to Morgan Stanley as the 1099-B before the change works great. My 1099 before the change did not have the code N. I imagine I will not get through to E-trade on Tuesday with all the issues. Hopefully an updated 1099-B will come out quickly or instructions.
Confirmed in the preview file as @furledd stated - Morgan Stanley is incorrectly sending the "N" Adjustment Code (screen shot below). All of my transactions have this incorrect adjustment code.
This is a Morgan Stanley issue to resolve. Let's hope MS didn't send this incorrect data to the IRS!!!
Sent MS a secured email reporting the error - hoping it gets actioned before Tuesday (Monday is a Fed Holiday). Chat is not available on the weekends.
"Morgan Stanley Capital" destroyed Etrade after buying them out - I faced the same problems with their tax docs, and ultimately ended up re-doing all trades in a spreadsheet based on their trade confirms and entering them manually. Unrelated, MS Capital also butchered ETrade's great service and trade execution, and are stealing more on each trade with fake bid/asks. You may have seen that MS recently got fined by the SEC for disclosing client trades to certain preferred clients before hand, allowing them to frontrun. They're done.
