1099-B entry vs. form 8949 and schedule D
I normally have a small number of 1099B entries, however this year I had a situation that resulted in one of my 1099B statements having approximately 250 entries, mostly a few cents, but none the less 250 entries. I painstakingly entered them all. When I printed my TT return to view, TT entered the TOTALS on lines "1a" and "8a" of Schedule D, respectively for Short Term & Long Term gains/losses which were reported to IRS by Broker. There was only 2 of those 250 entries that were "E" (Long term-not reported to IRS) and those were entered on form 8949 by TT. I am confused as to why TT did that, but my question is: Do I need to snail mail a copy of my brokerage statement to the IRS due to the fact TT listed all those entries as TOTALS on line 1a & 8a on my Schedule D, even though I entered all individually, thinking they would appear on Form 8949? I am not talking huge numbers (1a=$8.00 and 8a=$196). Also, should TT alert me if it is necessary to do so, when I efile my return?
