Problem solved. The problem was that at the top of the page on the 1099B worksheet, I erroneously checked the box "Transactions were not reported to IRS" and that would not let me select Box E (because Box E items ARE reported to IRS). Foolish mistake on my part. I unchecked the box and problem solved.

You need to enter the transaction on the Schedule D to flow to the F8949.

Select Schedule D>Form 1099-B worksheet scroll down to the Quick Entry Table

Thank you, but that was not the issue. The problem was that at the top of the page on the 1099B worksheet, I erroneously checked the box "Transactions were not reported to IRS" and that would not let me select Box E (because Box E items ARE reported to IRS). I unchecked the box and problem solved.
