Get your taxes done using TurboTax
It's not clear whether you are making summary entries or entering every individual transaction. If you are making summary entries you have to enter Total proceeds, which is the sum of the box 1d column, and Total cost basis, which is the sum of the box 1e column. See the screen shot below. Your brokerage statement probably shows the totals at the bottom of each section. You also have to select the sale category from the drop-down list. If you are making summary entries, that's all you have to enter.
Your brokerage statement has more than one category, so you have to make a separate summary entry for each category, with the appropriate sale category selected for each one.
For the categories that are not reported to the IRS you have to attach to your amended return a copy of the part of the brokerage statement showing the details of all the transactions. You have to file your amended return by mail anyway, so just include the necessary sections of the brokerage statement. Send a photocopy, not the original.
