Hello CRE,
What I do is probably wrong--I'm afraid to ask--but here it is:
I trade short term and always from the same account. I always end the
year flat. I usually end the day flat for that matter. I compare the
year opeing balance against the year end, adjust for withdrawals,
deposits, interest earned, misc fees paid if any. (This is similar to
one way to treat mutual funds when reinvested gains/multiple lots are
involved.)
This gives me my net gain for the year. I enter that on the
appropriate form with a note that detailed trade records are
available.
Frankly I'd rather go thru an audit than try to get quicken and
tradestation and turbotax to reconcile.

Best regards,
