Question

Can I summarize all my stock sales or must I list each stock individually?

Yes, you can enter Summary Info for Stock Sales. 

 

Depending on the type of transactions, you may need to mail in Form 8949 with copies of your 1099-Bs after Efiling.

 

TurboTax will tell you if this is required.

It is your option to summarize for e-File however,
IRS requires details to be listed on Form 8949,
or on your own forms (e.g. consolidated 1099-B) which have the same information and in the same manner as Form 8949.
Either way, if you choose to summarize, you have to mail those transaction details to the IRS within three business days of IRS accepting your tax return.

Exception: transactions in category A or D without adjustments do not require form 8949. No mailing is necessary.
