  4. From here, you can import or manually enter your 1099-B.

  6. On the Now, we'll enter one sale on your 1099-B screen, enter your info.

 If you have a cost basis in the insurance policy, you can use that for your purchase price. This would be what you paid for the policy less any return you may have received during the period you owned the policy. If you do not have that figure or you cannot obtain it, then zero will be your cost basis.
