you report each position separately. you do this on form 8949. 7 positions is nothing, it will take you 5 minutes. there's a tip on form 8949 that says this, though: for part i (short term transactions):  note. you may aggregate all short-term transactions reported on   form(s) 1099-b showing basis was reported to the irs and for which no   adjustments or codes are required. enter the total directly on   schedule d, line 1a; you are not required to report these transactions   on form 8949 (see instructions). for part ii (long term transactions): note. you may aggregate all long-term transactions reported on form(s)   1099-b showing basis was reported to the irs and for which no   adjustments or codes are required. enter the total directly on   schedule d, line 8a; you are not required to report these transactions   on form 8949 (see instructions). if the 1099b in your case shows basis for each transaction as reported to the irs - you're in luck, and don't have to type them all in separately.
