Investors & landlords

1) Doesn't matter.  You can use 'various', but this info won't be used.

2) Yes, if you don't have Ord Income to report (you may not).

3) Yes

4) Not sure what Form 8949 you're referring to.  If you've done '2' correctly, the only ones you have should be from your broker.

5) You may not have any.  It would be on the sales schedule if you did.  Also sometimes on line 20AB

6) Line 20 is full of special items that pertain to some but not all.  If you're subject to 163(j) (unlikely if you're just an average retail investor, but you should read up on it) then you'd adjust your return to reflect those values.
