thank you for the info but this does NOT resolve the basic issue that the on line version (Premier edition) advertises that it can handle up to 1500 individual entries to form 8949. But with only 227 for me, the on line version simply cannot handle it,
and after about 25% of the 227 entries, the rest are lost someplace in cyberspace. I learned my lesson and will NOT use the on line version again, even if I get for free as a private client at fidelity. And based on community discussion I am not the only one that realizes the on line version has limitations, especially the inability to enter directly on forms.
Further, the suggested work around omits the issue of having possibly to send hard copies of the brokerage 1099 B t the IRS after filing electronically (via form 8453). I wanted to avoid that if at all possible. Sad to say, with the on line version, it cannot be avoided. Count me as very unhappy
