The 1096 is a cover sheet for the 1099-B (which individuals do not send) and are sent together ... one is not the herald for the other AND again only businesses (brokers) issue that form not individuals. You cannot circumnavigate the situation you find yourself in by filing incorrect forms ... for now you are stuck entering in all the info on your return and you must correct the issue going forward as already discussed.
Now what you may be thinking of is Interest & Dividends that you can nominee to another party ... this cannot be done with sales.
