1. Select Wages & Income.

Holding Periods:

• Long term is a holding period of more than one year (one year plus one day) and receives capital gain tax treatment (0%, 10%, 15%, 20% depending on your regular rate of tax)
• Short term is a holding period of one year or less and receives ordinary gain tax treatment (your regular rate)

A solution can be to enter summary transactions if you have many transactions. Your brokerage statements should include a summary of your transactions, grouped by sales category, for example, Box A short-term covered or Box D long-term covered.

You can always use direct entry if you choose, with summary totals.  The only exception if wash sales, which must be entered separately, if you have any.
