How do I go about entering a summary of the different categories of transaction report from my 1099-B?

If you have too many transactions that would require editing, you can consider deleting your imported information and entering a summary of the different categories of transactions reported on your Form 1099-B (short-term covered, short-term not covered, long-term covered, long-term not covered).

in a 1099-B wks near the type there a section where you can enter transactions classified as type A (short term gains/losses where sales amount and cost basis reported to the IRS) or D (same as A but for long-term transactions) any type A oR D transaction that involves an adjustment for wash sale or marvet dicount can not be entered in this section). transactions classified as B,C,E,F,X and any A or D the can't be entered in the summary totals need to be detailed. they will show up on form 8949 the totals of which carry to the proper lines on Schedule D. You'll not be able to use the import function. another possibility is to include form 8453 with box 8949 check. you then mail it with your security details to the IRS. would can then enter through the 1099-B wks all short-term trades as one item the same with all long-term trades. make sure you mark the box that the line represents multiple trades.
