Question

Where do I find the Document ID number on a report from Baird Stock Broker for a 1099-B form?

The are numbers all over the report, and I've tried entering several of them and none seems to be the Document ID number they ask for on Turbo Tax.

Not all brokers provide the option for a Document ID. It is possible that you do not have a Document ID on your form. It should specifically be labeled as "Document ID".

 

There are other options to enter your 1099-B.

 

Your brokerage statements should include a summary of your transactions, grouped by sales category, for example, Box A short-term covered or Box D long-term covered.

You'll enter the summary info instead of each individual transaction. Select your product below for instructions:
