your 1099-B goes to the IRS and will show a loss of most of your investment.
It's doubtful IRS will come after you for not reporting this loss.
If you report the loss, it is deductible so in that way it is to your advantage to report.
The higher cost of the TurboTax upgrade may cancel it all out.
Note: if you want help entering the report, reply back later when the broker has suppled the details to you in February.
