UNDETERMINED TERM TRANSACTIONS FOR NONCOVERED TAX LOTS
The 1099-B I received from my brokerage includes several transactions labeled as "UNDETERMINED TERM TRANSACTIONS FOR NONCOVERED TAX LOTS." They're all for a physical metal ETF. They all show quantity of 0, and the proceeds for each are less than 0.50c. If I round to whole dollars as I do for the rest of my return, this results in my listing a bunch of transactions where (d) proceeds, (e) cost or other basis, and (h) gain or loss are all $0.
Is it better to list them all like this - with all zeros - or just omit them? If I omit them, I'm concerned the IRS will flag it & ask why I didn't report the transactions. If I include them, I'm concerned the IRS will flag it & ask why I'm reporting a bunch of nonsensical transactions with both cost and sales price of $0.
