Dear All:
I have a question about how to handle stock sales in the following 3 scenarios as I am trying to determine whether I can avoid entering stock sale one at a time:
(Scenario A) If I have bought the same stock a few times in both 2020 and 2021, and sold the same stock a few times in 2021 (with long term and short term gains as well as long term loss and short term loss, but without any wash sales), how do I handle the reporting? Can I group all long term together, and separately short term items together, respectively, and enter "various" for purchase date and "various" for sale date?
(Scenario B) If I have bought the same stock a few times in both 2020 and 2021, and sold all in one lot on 12/1/2021, can I group all long term together and separately all short term together, entering "various" for purchase date?
(Scenario C) If I have bought a stock in one lot in 2021, and sold the same stock a few times in 2021, all short term, can I group everything together, and enter "various) for sale date?
Thanks in advance for your advice.
John
