As long as you have your 1099-B in hand you can enter the information manually. Generally your 1099-B should show the caption for the type of trade that it was - Short-term covered with basis reported to the IRS, Short-term not covered, Long-term covered, Long-term not covered. Each section of the 1099-B needs to be entered separately. You are allowed to combine transactions as one provided they are from the SAME grouping. You enter the transactions in the Investment section of TurboTax as follows:
On the left side of your TurboTax screen, click on Wages & Income
Scroll down to "Investments & Savings" and click show more or edit/add
Click on "Add Investments"
Click on "Enter a different way"
Click on the box for Stocks, Bonds, Mutual Funds and then continue
