where do you input a 1099B?

Form 1099-B is reported in TurboTax under the Investments and Savings Section of Wages & Income.  TurboTax automatically completes Form 8949 when you enter your stock sales.  If you would like to import your 1099-B, review the TurboTax Help article Where do I enter or import a 1099-B?

 

Follow the steps below to enter your 1099-B:

 

  1. Launch TurboTax
  2. Select Federal and Wages & Income
  3. Select Add more income
  4. Select the dropdown by Investments and Savings
  5. Select Start/Edit by Stocks, Bonds, Mutual Funds (1099-B) Please note that you may have to upgrade to TurboTax Premium
  6. TurboTax will guide you through the screens to enter your 1099-B.

 

For more information on broker transactions, ‌ refer to the TurboTax article What is Form 1099-B: Proceeds from Broker Transactions?
