1099 B - how to enter one section as totals and one as single sale?

I have a 1099 B with Box D long-term covered  with 24 lines of the same stock and Box 5 non-covered, basis not reported and ST/LT determination not known with a single line item.   If I choose report totals for each section it's requiring, to mail a separate statement to the IRS for the non-covered section detail.  I'd like not to do this, and don't want to enter the covered transactions as single items.  So my question is,  how do I report one as section total and one as a single line item?

    The best way to report these 1099-B transactions is to enter the 1099-B once for the Long-Term and again for Short-Term sales. If you upload the transactions, you'll need to edit the data to remove the short-term from the long-term and vice versa. There isn't a way to split the upload to two 1099-Bs.
