Thanks to my broker, I had about 200 capital gain transactions last year. They were computer sumarized as to the gain/loss for each sale but they were listed on 14 pages of computer print out: 13 pages of short term transactions and one page of long-term. When I did my taxes over the weekend, I just put four lines on my schedule D: short term gain, short term loss, long term gain, and long term loss. Each line was the total of each category as provided by my broker. I then wrote, "SEE ATTACHED DETAIL" and included copies of the 14 computer pages. How should I have done it? Am I gonna get a nasty note from the boys at the service center?
