Is it possible to enter the total for each line from the broker statement without having to enter 17 pages of transactions?

Yes but you still use the worksheet

Short term with basis reported total

Short term with basis not reported total

Short term not on 1099-B total

Repeat for long term

Use the schedule D worksheet.  Not directly on the form.

Just use the total by type of transaction.

I enter most of the stuff directly onto Sch D.  See 1a and 8a:

You have to have basis reported and no wash sale (or other) adjustments.  That's most of what I see these days though.  They're so much easier when they're covered, smothered & scattered.
