How do I enter buy and sell of stock options as capital gains

In order to enter capital gains from the disposition of stock options you would have to choose our Premier option to file with. You can input the capital gain amounts under the income section of your return on the page labeled Capital Gains, but in order to do so you would need to check off a box stating if you had received income from investments under the profile section of the return.
If you'd like to know how to enter capital losses on your return here is a link to a great video by TurboTax on how to do so. For any other questions related to capital gains and taxes, here is a great article by TurboTax.
