You enter it the same way you would manually enter a stock trade that was reported on a 1099-B.  To do so in TurboTax:

 

  • Type "1099B" into Search  and hit enter 
  • Click on "Jump to 1099b
  • Answer  Yes  to "Did you have investment income in 2022?"  
  • Click through the program until you get to "Let's import your tax info?", and click on "Enter a different way". 
  • Click to highlight the box with "Stocks, Bonds, Mutual Funds", then click on Continue.  
  • Enter something for "Bank or Brokerage" and click on Continue.  
  • Answer No to the Employee stock question.  
  • Continue through screens until you come to the page with Now, enter one sale on your Foreign 1099‑B 
  • Enter the information for your stock sale.
