So I need to split the mutual fund into separate entries.  One for the original inherited shares, then one for each of the times they reinvested and bought more shares for me.  (every time the basis is different) The last time being a short term investment.   And I must only put inherited for the original shares because inherited means the basis is set to date of death.   This is getting pretty complicated and won't match the 1099B that fidelity provided although I guess the total will.  Is there an easier way to do this?  I have 4 different mutual funds to do this for. They put various for date acquired in the 1099-B,  then I guess average the basis out over all the shares - end result - total gain - should be the same as separating them by date except the first is inherited, the rest are reinvested.

I got this message saying that my IRA contributions are $7k in excess even though they are within the limit:   "Traditional IRAs You had traditional excess contributions of $7,000. To avoid a penalty you can withdraw these excess contributions before the due date of your return. If you have withdrawn all or some of these contributions, enter the amount withdrawn below."     All I am entering is the $7,000 allowed for 2025. I didn't enter any excess. This message seems to imply that 100% of my contributions would be in excess.   My "Federal Tax Due" also went up from $9 to $395 after entering the contribution amount for some reason.   If I enter the $7k as a Roth IRA contribution instead of traditional I don't get the message about having excess contributions, but I do get the "Federal Tax Due" going up from $9 to $429 after entering the contribution amount. Which is even more odd because Roth contributions shouldn't affect my taxable income or taxes at all. And I would prefer to contribute to a traditional IRA this year if possible.
Can I still sell some stocks for a loss now before the tax deadline April 15 2026 to offset some of my 2025 short term capital gains? 
I have several different bank saving accounts each with about $0.5 to $2 of total interests for 2025. I did not receive any 1099-INT from any of these banks. Do I still need to report them?

I received a consolidated 1099-B from Fidelity with several hundreds of transactions. The 1099-B have summaries of the transactions categorized by short/long term and basic reported/not-reported to IRS. Can I use these categorizations and just report their aggregated total proceeds, basis and wash sales? Or do I need to report every single transaction?
Section 179 expense deduction disallowed. How do I fix carryovers on individual activities?
I thought this type conversion is called backdoor conversion within two IRA accounts and should have no limit; but need to pay tax only?

I traded some options for the same ticker in my traditional IRA and another individual taxable accounts. There were some gains and some losses within 30 days. I mostly traded option strategies like covered calls, iron condor, put credit spread, call debit spread, etc for the same ticker in each account.  How are wash sales handle in this scenario? I have losses and gains in both accounts for the same ticker. How do I report these? How should I adjust basis? Can losses offset gains across these accounts?   Appreciate any advice.
