Hello,

I was going through schedule-D instructions and it seems like I can consolidate the transactions in 1099-B as long as basis was reported to IRS and it doesn't show any adjustments in box 1f or 1g.

However, if I have adjustments in those boxes as reported in 1099-B can I still consolidate the entries without adjustment and only report the adjusted entries on form 8949?

Also, should I use multiple schedule-D forms for 1099-B from different brokers or should I combine them on a single schedule-D?

Thanks!

If you are using tax software, you can reduce the statements to PDF, report the summary results of each category (A through F), and attach the PDF statements to the return.

If attachment is NOT an option, you can still report the summary and MAIL in printed copies of the statements under Form 8453 within three days of efiling the return.

I can't seem to use tax software since my ex-spouse didn't have SSN or ITIN and they don't allow seem to allow filling NRA in that field.

I'm manually filling it, so was wondering.

Try TaxAct; they have the option of filing when the spouse has no SSN or ITIN.

You can also enter the summary data on Schedule D and simply attach photocopies of the brokerage statements to the mailed return.

You can also hire me to do it all; if interested, see my email address in my profile.
