Client gave me a 1099-B that is 293 pages, I know from past experience that the attachment will be way to big to email. How is the best way to handle this, use form 8949 and just put the totals in, then mail the the 1099-B, just put the totals in and don't mail the 1099-B, and wait to see if they request a copy, or just send in a paper return. All opinions are welcome as along as they aren't condescending.
Thank you in advance.
As IRonMaN asks...there should be an indication as to whether the basis was reported or not. If it was reported, there is no need to send/attach the 1099B. If there are sales that are not reported and you choose not to list each transaction separately but combine them...then you may need to attach a copy of those transactions.
With that said, I've never done that and I've never been questioned. Not suggesting that is the right approach, just letting you know my experience.
