Question

2024 schedule d

For 2024 turbo tax combined my short term and long term proceeds all in the short term pat 1. To make the bottom

line match, a turbo tax specialist had me adjust $888,106. My gain would not change but it looks weird to have that large of an adjustment in column G of part 1. Turbo tax failed to fill in part 1 line 2. Filing an amended form would make it look correct as it is in error. The issue is I still owe the same tax and that would not change. Not sure what to do

    If your return was accepted and processed and the change would not affect your refund, income or tax due, you do not need to amend your return.

    how did you enter the tranactions? short-term needs either type a  - sales section proceeds and basis reported to IRS (covered) or type b sales section proceeds but not basis reported to IRS (noncovered).  This is similar to entries for long-term type d or e if entered as summary totals 

    summary totals need to be code with an M and details need to be sent to the irs. you can use Form 8453  (soukd be prepared automatically if you use code M)

    to submit the 1099-B reporting the details,

     Because of the volume of transactions, I had to delete the 1099 as transferred from E Trade and enter summary results. I attached a copy of the 1099 to the return. Turbo Tax the last two years has not been able to deal with a large amount of data from a 1099 so summary entries were used. Some how turbo tax combined LT and ST and line 2 into one number I part 1. The bottom line won’t change but fell my $889k adjustment as suggested by. Turbo Tax live rep would engender an audit. An amended Sch D would look better as turbo tax messed up the entries but Vanessa (Turbo tax pro) said don’t worry to ament since bottom line will not change
