1099 B shares missing in "description of property" - Merrill 1099

[DXY2021]

Hello- I had a basic 1099 B upload question re: accuracy of uploaded data please:

I downloaded a 1099 B from Merrill - the description of property shows the correct stock name but the shares are not showing after the company name

Do I leave it alone as it was uploaded? or do I go in and edit it to say x shares after the company name ? 

Not sure if it matters but my inclination is to leave it alone so that it syncs with the source document

thanks for any help and double checking me !

I won't matter.  If you were entering them manually I would say to include the share # information, but I would not adjust each entry in a downloaded 1099-B to add it.  The only really important amounts are the proceeds and the cost basis.  If your totals per category match, you're good.
