Attaching Broker 1099B Transactions

Stumpedagain

I have a client who brought their tax information including a Wells Fargo Investment Account with 74 pages of short term trading on the 1099B.  Entering the detail into the Proseries software would take me weeks.  Can I enter summary totals in the software and attach a pdf. of the 74 pages?  God, I hope so....

If it's all short-term, it's probably covered, unless your client is investing in weird stuff.

And if you summarize to report the gain correctly, but do not attach the 1099-B as PDF (I do not, ever), no change if taxpayer is audited.

There is no requirement to attach for covered transaction with no adjustments.

If it's all short term frequent trading, more likely than not, there'd be wash sale adjustments.

Hopefully, the client doesn't trade puts/calls, etc. like Phoebe says.

There is over $5K in wash sale adjustments, so I will just upload a PDF of the whole 1099B.  Thankfully, no puts and calls.  I have advised client this is a fast path to losing it all.  They just sold their business for $500K to retire and put $400K with Wells Fargo to generate 75 pages of short term trading.  They are in their 60s and this is the bulk of their wealth.  I may be wrong, but not smart.....
