Are you amending a previously filed return?   When you search for investment sales, you are taken to your investment sale summary page.   You should be able to edit your transactions from the summary page in the interview by clicking on Review.  

 

There is a scroll bar at the bottom which will allow you see the whole screen.

When entering the 1099-B data in my original return and discover a typo or error in a previously entered item - there is no way to go back and correct that item or to delete that item and reenter it. Need a delete/reenter or edit function in next years Turbo Tax. Thanks.
