EDIT your 1099-B entry and look for the Sales Category pulldown.

Select "Box B".

'Sales Category' not found either on TurboTax or on the IRS forms   :(

did you enter the 1099-B yet? if yes, follow the answer.
if No, select "I'll type it in myself"
I assume you know how to navigate around in the program.

My 1099-B transactions were imported from Quicken - WRONG!  When I download the transactions from my broker, EVERYTHING was correct and the right boxes were checked.  Quicken did not know if my broker reported the sales; broker download contains more information than the Quicken import.  Problem solved!!!
