No, you can do a summary of all transactions to combine your short term transactions (and long term if you have those).
Holding Periods:
- Long term is a holding period of more than one year (one year plus one day) and receives capital gain tax treatment (0%, 10%, 15%, 20% depending on your regular rate of tax)
- Short term is a holding period of one year or less and receives ordinary gain tax treatment (your regular rate)
If you are e-filing your tax return, then may be asked to mail your statements (1099-Bs or other document showing detailed sales information) along with Form 8453 to:
Internal Revenue Service
Attn: Shipping and Receiving, 0254
Receipt and Control Branch
Austin, TX 73344-0254
If you need a blank Form 8453, you can download this pdf, enter your address information and check the box for Form 8949 (this form is really just a cover sheet).
