Sole Proprietorship Stock Trades

I have already filed the Mark to Market form last year with IRS.  So I just need to import my trades into Turbotax from the Brokerage.

How do I do that?  They should not be going into Schedule D, since I need the full write off, not limited by 3K.  

They are supposed to be on the sole proprietorship  business side. 

Business section of TT does not have a brokerage stock trades import feature.  What is the full proper TT procedure to get these entered correctly?  Thanks in advance.

I guess the question then is can I just use the summary totals for form 4797?  Or do I need to show all the trades?

 

There is no way to enter all the trades manually (thousands).  Since TT cannot import the trades.  How would I use TT to file electronically?

Is this a new feature?  As far as I'm aware, Traders with MTM election must paper file using turbotax.  Turbotax didn't used to allow uploads of the detailed trades that were summarized in form 4797.  Where does turbotax ask you to upload these details and/or how can we upload the attachment?

Uploading an attachment may work in the online versions of TurboTax, but the desktop versions do not appear to have that functionality.
