Thanks for the alert, but it's not relevant in my case.

And did your software print out a form 8453 with instructions of how and
to where the form should be mailed?

I used TurboTax but TaxCut should be similar. In Schedule D line 1 column
(a), I entered "See short-term sales" into the software, and entered the
column (d) - (f) total figures from the attachment into the software.
Likewise for Line 8 and long-term, sales. I left columns (b) - (c) empty,
and TurboTax didn't complain. I put the attachments where D-1 would usually
go.

This way, the tax software incorporates the figures properly in its
computations. (The software allows "override," but I avoid that whenever
possible.)

On the attachments, I put a page heading kind of like to what the software
puts for attachments: name and social security number at the top, then
"Schedule D, line 1" then "Short-term sales." Likewise for Line 8 and long-
term, sales.

[Disclaimer: I'm not a tax pro, but am in the habit of paying taxes.]

I have numerous (thousands) trades in 2007, so I plan to just enter the
totals from my 1099 and send the details in a printed attachment.
Because I am using TaxCut which will print out the returns, where do I
enter the term "See Attachment". Do I just handwrite it on the return?

Thanks

Jeff
