When I have a 1099 with stock sales from a broker, do I just report the overall aggregate or have to list each transaction?

In my 1099, I have an aggregate statement of aggregate profit and loss. Is that sufficient to put on the return, or do I need to list all of the transaction individually?

You can list the sales in summary form, but you will need to mail in your tax return with a copy of the Form 1099-B detail if any of the sales include uncovered sales, which are ones in which the cost basis is not listed on the Form 1099-B.

Not sure if this is available in the online version, but if the type is A (short-term - proceeds and cost reported to IRS with no adjustments) or type D (same as A but for long-term gains or losses)

Only for transactions where you got a 1099-B and the Type is either A (short-term – proceeds and basis (covered) reported to IRS with no adjustments or Type D (same as A but for long-term trades). Not for employee stock sales
