Investors & landlords

@Larrystephb 

why don't you summarize your option trades and other stock trades on Schedule D Line 1a ??

Any reason ??

They are all covered transactions so no detail reporting is required.

Yes, if you have wash sales, it gets more complicated since those adjusted transactions have to be itemized on Form 8949 and the summary totals adjusted accordingly.

You can take action to avoid wash sales.
