Get your taxes done using TurboTax
@Buybuy You're using an 8949 when you shouldn't. I understand the desire to do so but you should attach the broker statements showing every trade. If you've imported them into your computer you can generate spreadsheet versions of the transactions. In the case that you are stating you are trying to find workarounds for using the statements the way the IRS has specifically stated that MTM transactions need to be entered.
If you import your 1099-Bs into TurboTax it will generate a schedule D automatically. There is no workaround for this. Your individual trades aren't reported in your tax return if you have elected MTM status. Only the totals on part II of form 4797. The IRS is not going to accept a substitute for the 4797 in order to process your return. And if you send the IRS a bunch of form 8949s - which are not used by MTM traders - you're just going to get your return rejected because you confused someone.
