Every year TT has had me enter info from my broker's 1099-B form.

This year I could not find a place to enter that data.

I emailed and they said I would get an email within a few minutes ....
didn't happen.

So today I called and, although they said it was a 60 minute wait, they
answered in less than 10 minutes...not too bad .... so far so good.

Girl tried to be helpful, but seemed to lack the mental horsepower to
understand the situtation. Finally she seemed to understand and although
she looked through both TT Deluxe forms and TT Premier forms she couldn't
find a 1099-B either.

Finally she got a supervisor who claimed that it was no longer required to
enter the data from the broker's 1099-B.

I find this hard to believe because in the past the program always compared
the amount on the brokers 1099-B to the amount on the Schedule D and they
had to match.

The broker doesn't spend the money to send the form to me and the
government for nothing.

I'm sure, if my return was picked to be checked, they would compare the
1099-B the broker filed against what my schedule D shows.

Anyone know if it is true and it is no longer necessary to enter the
broker's 1099-B info?

If not, does anyone know where to find the 1099-B form, in either Deluxe or
Premier?

I don't want to buy Premier if I don't have to ... but will if the form is
there.

I have a feeling the missing 1099-B form is a serious bug.

I think the intent is to use the "Capital Gain (Loss) Transaction
Worksheet". Without IRS redesigning Sked D, I don't see any way to
easily reconcile Sked D to 1099-B forms.

I have Deluxe, and of course you have to enter the data from your 1099-B!
Did you answer the original question "Did you sell mutual funds or stocks
during the year"? Possible if you didn't check YES, the interview process
skips this. Also, simply go to the box SEARCH TOPICS OR FORMS and you'll
see it listed in the drop down panel.

Selecting a 1099-B entry from "Search Topics or Forms" takes you to an
interview topic or worksheet associated with that 1099-B topic. But even in
TT07 Premier there is no 1099-B form, as you'll see if you select "Forms ->
Open a Form...". Perhaps there was in past years, but I know I've never used
or needed it.

==============
When I go there and select 1099-B it just takes me to the Schedule D
where I imported all the sales for the year. Which is wrong.

When I use the Open Form I get a list of all the forms in TT and there is
no 1099-B listed there.

Good thing I'm already bald. :)
