What do I do with the 1099-B if I sold employee stock?

Form 1099-B (Proceeds from Broker and Barter Exchange Transactions) reports the sale of stocks, bonds, mutual funds, and other securities.

Here's where you enter or import your 1099-B in TurboTax:

  1. Open (continue) your return if it's not already open.
  2. In TurboTax, search for "1099-B" or "1099B" (lower-case also works) and then select the "Jump to" link in the search results.
  3. Answer Yes to Did you sell any investments in 2017?
    • If you see Here's the investment sales info we have so far, select Add More Sales.
    • If you're in Free Edition or Online Deluxe, follow the instructions to upgrade to Premier.
  4. Answer Yes to Did you get a 1099-B or brokerage statement for these sales?
  5. At Choose your bank or brokerage or Let Us Enter Your Investment Sale Info, choose how you want to enter your 1099-B (import or type it in yourself).
  6. Follow the onscreen instructions.
