Question

Hi there! I have sold some foreign shares without using a broker or brokerage account. In the past I've been able to enter details direct, but seems no longer possible...

Previously I would just enter the name of the stock, sales price, cost basis, and it would add the cap gain to schedule d. But the "investments and savings" section appears to no longer allow this!

You can still enter it your information with a 1099-B.  Even though you don't have for the foreign stock, type "1099B" in to Search  and hit enter:  

 

  • Click on "Jump to 1099b
  • Answer  Yes  to "Did you have investment income in 2022?"  
  • Click through the program until you get to "Let's import your tax info?", and click on "Enter a different way". 
  • Click to highlight the box with "Stocks, Bonds, Mutual Funds", then click on Continue.  
  • Enter something for "Bank or Brokerage" and click on Continue.  
  • Answer No to the Employee stock question.  
  • Continue through screens until you come to the page with Now, enter one sale on your Foreign 1099‑B 
  • Enter the information for your Foreign stock sale.
