8949

I have 62 transactions that were Long Term Capital Gains/Losses which should have the box checked that says Cost basis reported to IRS on Form 8949, Part II. The wrong box is checked and I am unable to correct it. I don't want to re-enter that many transactions. Please tell me how I can change the box that is checked.

If you have more than 25 transactions that need to be reviewed or corrected, you might want to enter them as a sales summary instead of fixing them one by one. Below is a link on how to remove those transactions and instead input them as a whole summary

Use summary filing
