Where can I mark a sale in 1099-B (from my broker) as received as nominee in TurboTax 2024?

The 2022 version has the function to mark it as nominee. The 2023 removes it for individual sales. The 2024 appears to remove the nominee function totally.

Report the 1099-B on your return as though it was issued to you. Next you can actually nominee the 1099-B from the original owner to you using the steps below or you can provide documentation should the IRS request it later.

 

Nominee returns

Generally, if you receive a Form 1099 for amounts that actually belong to another person or entity, you are considered a nominee recipient. You must file a Form 1099 with the IRS (the same type of Form 1099 you received).  You must also furnish a Form 1099 to each of the other owners. 

File the new Form 1099 with Form 1096 (this is a transmittal for the 1099) by mailing to the Internal Revenue Service Center for your area. (Provided on the Form 1096)

  • On each new Form 1099, list as the payer the person on the original form and the other owner, as the recipient. On Form 1096, list the person on the original form as the nominee filer, not the original payer (financial institution).  The nominee is responsible for filing the subsequent Forms 1099 to show the amount allocable to each owner.

The forms filed with the IRS should be the red copy so if you don't have a color printer, go to the IRS website and order the forms:
