Schedule D - Multiple Entries Direct Entry Forms - Desktop
1

Although you cannot enter information from Form 1099-B Proceeds From Broker and Barter Exchange Transactions directly on Schedule D Capital Gains and Losses, the steps listed below may help to streamline the entry process for TaxAct Desktop (download) customers:

The information to be entered on Form 8949 and Schedule D is entered on Form 1099-B in TaxAct. The appropriate number of forms will be submitted with your e-file and/or printed with your return based on your entries and the IRS instructions for Form 8949 and Schedule D. A maximum of 2,000 Forms 1099-B may be entered in TaxAct.
