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:

Launch TurboTax
Select Federal and Wages & Income
Select Add more income
Select the dropdown by Investments and Savings
Select Start/Edit by Stocks, Bonds, Mutual Funds (1099-B) Please note that you may have to upgrade to TurboTax Premium
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?

For instructions to enter other capital gains not reported on a 1099-B in TurboTax Online or TurboTax Desktop, review the following links:

If you capital gain was from the sale of your main home, refer to the TurboTax Help article: Where do I enter Form 1099-S?.

If your capital gain was from the sale of a second home, an inherited home, or land, refer to the TurboTax Help article: Where do I enter the sale of a second home, an inherited home, or land on my 2024 taxes?

If your capital gain was from the sale of rental property, refer to the TurboTax Help article: I sold my rental property. How do I report that?

I want Intuit to know I am VERY DISAPPOINTED that 2025 TurboTax Deluxe Desktop MUST be upgraded to Premier for THIRTY-FIVE DOLLARS ($35!) to be able to import brokerage stock/bond sales from FORM 1099-B into TurboTax's Form 8949. The prior years Deluxe version had the 1099-B import included, now we MUST Upgrade if you want it in included your TTax 2025 return.

Manually entering details for every transaction into TTax Form 8949 is too tedious and error-prone for me. Since I will E-file my 2025 TTax Federal return, I will instead postal mail a copy of 2025 forms 1099-B attached to IRS Form 8453; just tick the bottom checkbox to submit the 1099-B in lieu of an 8949.
