Have a day trader with hundreds of stock transactions to enter on Schedule D. I'm aware that you can summarize these on Schedule D. Can someone help me on the correct way to do it?

Enter the totals for each section (Short term reported, long term reported etc) and attach the broker statement as a pdf.

Is the detailed statement required to be attached as a PDF? Even if reported by the brokerage to the IRS?

I am an oldster who has never learned to attach PDF statements. I have efiled the totals under short, long, covered without a PDF attachment. I've detailed only uncovered trades in Form 8949. Is this incorrect?
