I need to enter some stock sales from a 1099-B. From the main income screen it just takes me to 1099-Div, which isn't right. The online help says you can get there by searching in the help and using "jump to" but that just takes me to 1099-Div too.

So is this another broken feature?

For the Desktop program? I know, I don't like the new way at all. Too many clicks and sreens to click on and go through. Go to the bottom and +Add Investments, then import or skip import, THEN....should be a screen with 5 boxes, pick Stocks, Bonds, Mutual Funds.

Yes! That does it! Thank you, I've been getting very frustrated trying to get a head start on my taxes.

In previous years those instructions worked. In 2024, I do all that and it takes me to the 1099-Div screen. 1099-B just isn't ready in this year's edition.
