I have enter a summary of my 1099B stock sales. But there are over 2000 transactions. Turbox Tax instructed me to send in form 8453 after I e-field. But, on the form 8453, it has boxed check asking me for Form 8949, so do I have to manually add each one of my trade transactions to form 8949 then send them in or I just need to send IRS a copy of my 1099-B from my broker? Thanks
You'll need to sign in or create an account to connect with an expert.
If you are able to successfully e-file your tax return(s) and they are Accepted, you may complete, print and mail Form 8453, U.S. Individual Income Tax Transmittal for an IRS e-file Return and a copy of Form 1099-B. Furthermore, if you enter a summary in lieu of individual transactions, TurboTax should generate both Schedule D and Form 8949 with summarized information. Please review the following for more information:
Mailing Instructions
The last box says, "Form 8949, Sales and Other Dispositions of Capital Assets (or a statement with the same information), if you elect not to report your transactions electronically on Form 8949."
Thus, you may complete (TurboTax may automatically complete), print and mail Form 8453 and a copy of Form 1099-B. See "When and Where To File" on Form 8453 Page 2.
If you compared Form 8949 to Form 1099-B, they would both report the following for each sale listed:
In some uncommon cases, there will be an adjustment code and adjustment amount.
NOTE: Any sales summaries that include only Box A or Box D sales, and which have no adjustments to gain/loss, do not need to be included on a statement mailed to the IRS.
Here's how to mail your statements:
If you are e-filing your tax return, then mail your statements along with Form 8453, U.S. Individual Income Tax Transmittal for an IRS e-file Return to:
Internal Revenue Service
Attn: Shipping and Receiving, 0254
Receipt and Control Branch
Austin, TX 73344-0254
If you are not e-filing, then mail your statements with your entire tax return to your local IRS office. (Where to File Paper Tax Returns With or Without a Payment)
How to enter a summary in lieu of individual transactions
Your brokerage statements should include a summary of your transactions, grouped by sales category, for example "Box A short-term covered" or "Box D long-term covered". You'll enter the summary information instead of each individual transaction.
When you are done entering all your sales transactions, you'll eventually come to the Here's the investment sales info we have so far, screen. Here you can edit, delete, or enter more sales.
I get two errors , it says to change Non covered security to "E" rather then "F" but I can not change it
