The IRS no longer allows for the reporting of proceeds on a 1099-B to be negative.  If your broker has reported your proceeds as a negative, you can contact them and ask them issue you a corrected 1099-B.  If you downloaded your 1099-B, you can input manually.  If you have a lot of transactions, you can report sales section totals.  After entering your sales section totals you can upload a copy of your Form 1099-B with the trade details, so you won't need to worry about your input matching the IRS records.
