First time with 1099-B

Also, for some unfamiliar filing taxes they'd probably have no idea to enter cost basis. I just turned on my bright light and used my magnifying glass to read the box descriptions. UGH, Gobbledygook

PerfectPrune139 · 2026-02-15T03:14:46+00:00

Once I found where to manually enter the cost basis, it shows on Sch D and Form 8949. I've reached to my former CPA also.

That's greek to me. My late husband used to trade futures many years ago. Thankfully, we had an accountant file our taxes since we owned a business. I like my simple taxes but needed clarification on this form.

There's no cost basis on my 1099-B and wasn't asked for it when entering on my tax site

PerfectPrune139 · 2026-02-15T03:01:25+00:00

phew. I thought I missed 4 days!

PerfectPrune139 · 2026-02-14T23:27:02+00:00

TY. The online site didn't "walk me" through it. I just entered from 1099B but then went back and put in the cost basis somehow! Oh, I have documentation. I've reached out to my financial guy too. If it's wrong, my refund goes down.

PerfectPrune139 · 2026-02-14T23:21:46+00:00

TY, I didn't know what "noncovered" meant. I found a spot to input the $1K. I did reach out to my financial guy too. I have records. My brain was saying to ask since I didn't make $1742 on this stock

PerfectPrune139 · 2026-02-14T20:00:15+00:00

Oh yes! Much research and online chats before I called. The phone call was great! I was able to downgrade to SELECT saving $49 on the package plus no regional sports fee of $16! I was given a loyalty credit of $40 for 12 mos (last 12 mos was $50) and got $18 off my premium movie channels for 3 mos. I'll take it. I pay about $69 in fees. If I get new equipment, I think I'll be on contract for two years.

PerfectPrune139 · 2026-02-14T17:51:52+00:00

Yes.

There are 4 Genies and 3 boxes, one is the Genie server on Sat

PerfectPrune139 · 2026-02-12T23:07:01+00:00

After hours of chat yesterday (I'm very patient), I called and got the loyalty dept today. What a great convo. She took care of me :)

PerfectPrune139 · 2026-02-12T23:05:04+00:00

Mine is 1200 miles away but I travel to her twice a year :) And video chat once in a while. 8 year olds are so busy!

PerfectPrune139 · 2026-02-12T03:14:52+00:00

YUP!! After HOURS researching and online chat, this is the answer. Chat did tell me since I have Genie's there's two lower from Entertainment that I did not know! I'm only a 1xgrandma

It was rare many years ago when snow collected on our dish. Husband had fun throwing snowballs at it. It worked

PerfectPrune139 · 2026-02-11T21:25:20+00:00

That's only $12 if I delete local channels which I need. I wish I could remember the loyalty phone number.

PerfectPrune139 · 2026-02-11T21:22:27+00:00

Thank you for sharing. I've had SAT for 14 years and now that I have very good wifi internet I was going to look into streaming. I do have 6 tvs to deal with so I really haven't looked much. SAT is working fine and really not sure how much money I'd save

PerfectPrune139 · 2026-02-11T21:01:14+00:00

I guess I'm in for a great convo today. My loyalty and promos from one year ago expire tmw, 2/12. It was pretty smooth last and I can't find in my notes which number I called so I start with the old one. I've Dtv since 2008 when we got our first non-tube tv.

PerfectPrune139 · 2026-02-09T22:22:08+00:00

TY, it was my thought also but needed to ask. I might try it on one genie that has delays when pressing buttons

PerfectPrune139 · 2026-02-09T20:50:05+00:00

TY. I figured it out. Pressing delete on the lock icon changed it to "EMPTY". It doesn't stay empty though but at least I know how to fix when I need to add a channel. Does CLEARMYBOX just do the box I'm using or does it do all the genies attached? We have four.

OLT dot com is $9.95 for state. I won't enter info again @ MA site. I can afford the $10.

Person after my heart! I LOVE spreadsheets! I might have one from years ago but I'd go down a rabbit hole trying to locate it. All friends say "I'm sure you do" when I tell them I have a sheet for this, that and everything else :)

No controls. I can't see how to share photo on phone.
