That’s correct.

Understand that, the IRS isn’t looking for your Form 1099-B specifically, even though the payer has electronically filed your 1099-B with them.

Rather, the IRS only needs to verify that there’s an amount equal to or greater than the relevant 1099-B amount reported in certain places on your return where that type of transaction would likely be reported.
