Haha - I wish that were the case, but it's not. In typical Intuit fashion, something is working just fine...we get used to the ease of preparing a return a certain way....and so it's time for Intuit to change it for absolutely no reason whatsoever. For some reason, Intuit had changed the Sched D input format multiple times in the past 10 years. 

And this change to the CORRECTED COST BASIS data entry is totally unnecessary. There was absolutely no change in the law that precipitated the change on that worksheet. Now, we will have to prepare a separate calculation for the "adjustment" instead of just letting me literally enter the corrected cost basis (no separate calculation necessary). 

Might be up there as one of the dumbest totally unnecessary changes in the 2020 software. Intuit needs to revise the 2020 Sched D input to allow preparers to simply enter the corrected cost basis - just like it was in the 2019 software. Who is reviewing these beta software tests??
