It is possible.  The only transactions that are reported on your tax return are for the sale of your investment. 

 

If you mainly sold off losses and held on to the gains your account could have grown considerably, and you would still report a loss.

 

Please confirm that the 1099-B data is correct, but your account balance value has little to do with your reporting of the sales.
