Phoebe,

My basis was reported to the IRS.  So I left that blank.  Additionally the 1099-B states for these short term covered securities gains that Box A is checked.  Yet Lacerte places the values in line 1a and I want them in line 1b (Box A).

Same is true for my long term covered securities where basis is reported and Box D is checked.  These are showing on line 8a and I want them on 8b (Box D).

I have verified the dates relate to S/T and L/T, and have left Basis rptd blank.
