Mike I use Etrade. In the past I've just used the total of all etrade trades and put them on schedule D as one entry. In other words, if I made fifty trades and the cost basis was 75,000 and I sold them all for 100,000, I would just make that one entry and show a gain of 25,000. This info is readily available on your online 1099B. Of course you have to break it down to long term and short term, but Etrade does that already. I've used this method many times with no problem. The IRS is really just interested in the total gain or loss. Saves a lot of aggravation.
