You have tried to answer a question related to my question and I'm grateful.
Following up to your reply,I'm very sure TT said I would need to mail a form 8949, not 8953 and not 1099-B. So are you saying TT is even more broken than I thought, because it told me to send the wrong form?
Going a little deeper, how would I know if I did those summary things? I went through the interview and imported 1099-Bs from my brokers and those imports contain all the trade details. Then TT generated some 8949s in the course of preparing my taxes. I certainly never manually summarized anything. So how would I know? Shouldn't TT know, and simply tell me? Also, why would it needlessly take an approach that creates more work for me?
But getting back to my original question, it is almost as if TT does know whether it did summary something something, and it is either trying to tell me it did, or it's trying to tell me it didn't. My real question is why would TT tell me one thing at one time and another thing at another time, when my tax return did not change between those two times?
Thanks for your reply!
