Options.I have a few 100 transactions. When fidelity forms are uploaded,TT lists as stock trade.Must I edit each one? If so, how? The form is clunky.Why doesn't TT fix?

I'd rather just leave as it is.  Even though it isn't a stock trade the accounting appears to be correct.  But will the IRS challenge my return if I don't categorize as an option?  It's not just the extra work - if I go in and change all entries, the chances of error are high.  Plus the categories are not quite right.  They list only as expired or sold.  what about a situation where you sell a call and then buy it back in a roll.  Fidelity automatically lists the trade as sum of the original proceeds minus the cost of closing the transaction.   My bottom line is this: has anyone been challenged by the IRS for leaving these as stock trades and avoiding the pain and frustration of reclassifing them as option trades?

No.  If the category is the only difference then leave them as is.  They are taxed identically.
