Input for Sec 1244 stock sale loss

Thanks in advance for your help!

Client has loss that meets the Section 1244 stock requirements.  The challenge is the input forms (I know the first $100,000 of the loss - MFJ) goes on Form 4797 Line 10 and the remainder of the loss on Schedule D.

I cannot get ProSeries input to match that result.  I used the Capital Gain/Loss worksheet and code "Q" adjustment for the 1244 $100,000 loss portion.  How do I get the $100,000 to flow through on the Form 4797 line 10?

Best,

Trina

Try using code S instead of Q.   Code S is for the loss that is in excess of the ordinary loss limits.

When you are in the capital gain/loss work sheet double click, and a window will pop up choose new copy, scroll down to enter 1244 loss
