Your gain or loss from GLD is reported on Form 8949, Sales and Other Dispositions of Capital Assets. In TurboTax, to report your gain or loss from GLD, select Wages & Income, (left margin in TurboTax online) or Personal, then Personal Income (TurboTax CD/download). Then scroll down the screen to Investment and Savings, (TurboTax online) or Investment Income (TurboTax CD/download). Select Stocks, Mutual Funds, Bonds, etc. and enter your information in the screens that follow.
While the Grantor Trust document indicates that you should calculate your gain or loss for each separate purchase, it also says that you can sum up the net reportable gain or loss. Thus, once you have separately calculated your gain or loss for each of your eleven purchases, you may be able to report the grand total in TurboTax rather than reporting each separate transaction. When you get to that section of TurboTax where you need to enter the dates of your purchases, if you decide to report just the totals, you can enter various for the dates purchased.
You did not get a 1099-B from GLD, because the Trust sold only a de minimis amount of gold for payment of Trust expenses during the year and made no distributions of sale proceeds to its Shareholders, and thus, neither the Trust nor brokers are required to report the gross proceeds of Trust sales to Shareholders on Form 1099B. Sometimes brokers will report sales of this type on a 1099-B, but given what took place in 2022 for GLD, there was no requirement to send a 1099-B.
