Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Yes, you need to enter the transactions by category, either as summary transactions, or as individual transactions. 

 

The categories you mention are letter coded and each transaction you enter must have a sales category selected for it.

  • Box A - short-term covered  
  • Box B - short-term non-covered 
  • Box C - short-term, no 1099-B received 
  • Box D - long-term covered
  • Box E - long-term non-covered
  • Box F - long-term, no 1099-B received 

 

Any amount of $.49 or less rounds down to $0. You should still enter the transaction if you have a basis of at least $.50 to take the loss. If the basis is also $0, you don't need to enter it.
