Long-Term Transactions for Covered Tax Lots mean that you had sales of stock that you owned for more than a year, and 1099-B lists the cost basis on the form.

 

Here's where you enter or import your 1099-B in TurboTax:

  2. Locate the search bar. Search for 1099-B, then select the Jump to link in the search results
  3. Select Okay! on the screen Time to kick off your investments! OR Yes on the screen Did you sell any of these investments? then Continue
    • If you see Your investments and savings or Your investment sales summary, select Add investments or Add more sales
  4. When you reach Let's import your tax info, choose how you want to enter your 1099-B:
    • To import your form, select your brokerage or financial institution from the list. Enter your sign-in credentials for your account, then select Get my form
    • If you want to enter your 1099-B manually, select Enter a different way, then select your investment type on the next screen
  5. On the following screens, answer the questions about your 1099-B
  6. When you reach the Review your sales screen, the form you just entered should be listed
    • If you need to add another 1099-B, select Add another sale. Otherwise, Continue
