The brokerage is reporting the basis for a stock purchase as income on a 1099-Misc..  The cost of the stock is $30.55 and the proceeds are $1.14.  This is not income.

Enter it as other income with 1099-MISC description and then zero it out with another negative entry. Then add it in the Investment section, without a 1099-B.

 

.

You can add it as Other Income.

  • Wages & Income
  • I'll choose what I work on
  • Less Common Income select Start (or Update) for 
  • Miscellaneous Income.
  • Other reportable income and you can enter your own description(s) and amount(s).
