Sch D is putting my 8949 Short Term totals on line 3 Box C instead of line 2 Box B. And Long Term totals on line 10 box F Instead of line 9 Box E . In the Details "Adjustment to basis if reported incorrectly on form 1099-B box 1e" I have entered the adjustment amount. Any ideas how to get my totals on the correct line on Sch D?

Looks like you have overridden the 1099-B reporting for each of those transactions.  Under Income > Schedule D/4797/etc. > Schedule D > Reported on: blank=Form 1099-B with basis reported to IRS, 1=Form 1099-B but basis not reported to IRS, 2=form other than Form 1099-B (Form 8949), make sure you have entered 1 for each of those transactions rather than 2.
