as long as they are 'covered' you can just manually enter the summary; the IRS already has the detail from your broker.
Actually I can not because the number is more than a million dollars
@ahmadtakla - why does the dollar amount make a difference? does TT not accept a sum that high?
well, first there is no place to report the total amount, only individual transactions.
second, in the individual transactions the limit is less than one million by one dollar
Your brokerage statements should include a summary of your transactions, grouped by sales category.
There are seven possible "Box" designations that indicate the holding period (Long/Short Term) and the reporting status. These are the only ones you have to summarize. If you want to manually enter your 1099-B as the summaries.
Code A. This code indicates a short-term transaction for which the cost or other basis is being reported to the IRS.
Code B. This code indicates a short-term transaction for which the cost or other basis is not being reported to the IRS.
Box C. Report on a Part I with box C checked all short-term transactions for which you can't check box A or B because you didn't receive a Form 1099-B (or substitute statement).
Code D. This code indicates a long-term transaction for which the cost or other basis is being reported to the IRS.
Code E. This code indicates a long-term transaction for which the cost or other basis is not being reported to the IRS.
Box F. Report on a Part II with box F checked all long-term transactions for which you can't check box D or E because you didn't receive a Form 1099-B (or substitute statement).
Code X. Use this code to report a transaction if you cannot determine whether the recipient should check box B or box E on Form 8949 because the holding period is unknown.
You will have to mail a copy of your 1099-B to the IRS. TurboTax will produce a Form 8453. You print the Form 8453 and attach the brokerage statement(s) to it.
