You can calculate these details for yourself, although they should be on your 1099-B.  The 1099-B uses terminology like "Long-Term sales reported to the IRS with Box B checked."

Long-Term means you held it more than a year.  Short-Term means you held it one year or less.  (You can calculate both these from the dates purchased and sold.)

Covered sales are Category/Box A (meaning what you paid for it is reported to the IRS), and Non-covered are Category/Box B (meaning what you paid is not reported to the IRS).  If it doesn't show what you paid, you will need to look it up in your records.
