If you are using the TurboTax online editions there is no direct access to any forms, schedules or worksheets.

Not using Online edition. Old school Tax accountant here, w/ Top 3 University Ranked BS/MS in Accounting /Taxation degrees. Sad to see Turbotax Literally BURY Access to Forms (can't even Search to find them on their software), so Taxes become even more difficult to Self-file, thus helping TurboTax Up-Sell their 'Complete' Tax Services. Turbotax Co Focus Now MISSES its Original Target Marketing group!!

You can search the form but first it has to be added.  You have to make an input into the schedule D that requires a form 8949.  At that point the system will add it to the return and you can search it.  But it won't be added unless it is needed based on entries.
