Information on our tax return must match to information IRS received from the broker.
Here is IRS instruction for 1099-B:
Box 1d. Proceeds
Enter the gross cash proceeds from all dispositions (including short sales) of securities, commodities, options, securities futures contracts, or forward contracts. Show a loss, such as one from a closing transaction on a written option or forward contract, as a negative amount by enclosing it in parentheses.
And this how my 1099-B looks like from T. Rowe Price. I am sure I have to report it the same way.
Any adjustments will cause mismatch at IRS and trouble for us.
