The TT Home and business allows FORM entry in addition to the Q and A method.  It is worth the cost.  Virtually all financial institutions provide down loading capability.  Manual entering is OK if you have a very limited number of transactions.  More active trades really do need a logging package.  TT will tell you if you if E filing is allowed considering the forms you use.

Since this is MTM accounting method, it won't be Form 8949. I need to file Form 4797, section 481 adjustment. And also Form 3115. The more I read about this, it looks like getting complicated with TT.
