The transaction as shown is incomplete as the date acquired and date sold are missing. 

 

Once this is fixed, go back and look at the transaction in the Investments section to confirm that it's correct.

 

If you are in Desktop, you can go to Forms mode to review the Schedule D and worksheets.

If you are using an Online version, you can preview your return before filing to find out how your taxes were calculated from your entries. See here for details.

Looks like the column is too narrow and not showing the -xx in front.
