In an individual return, Pennsylvania Schedule D is not produced if the gain/loss is zero. (Review Federal Schedule D in View/Print mode.)

You can force the PA Schedule D to be produced by following these steps:

  1. On federal screen 8949, change the ST drop list to 0 to prevent the amount from being reported twice.

  2. Manually enter the sale on PA screen D, with the following exception:

    1. Enter the Sales Price with "$0.45" more than the Cost/Basis.

    2. Press Ctrl + F to force the amount to be accepted.

      • For example, if the actual sales price was $15,000, type 15000.45 and press Ctrl + F to go to the next field. Then enter the Cost/Basis without any decimal amount (15000).
