     section.
    Schedule D section in FileRoom.
  4. The summary information will always be captured regardless of your choices here. You can choose whether to capture transaction details. To skip the details if the number of transactions in the entire return (not just a single statement) exceeds a particular number, enter that number in the
    Enter summary information if there are more than [] transactions
     box. For example, if you enter 
    15
    , summary information will always be captured. If there are 15 or fewer transactions in the whole return, details will be captured too (per the other following selections). If there are more than 15 transactions in the return, only the summaries will be captured.
    Specify a number of transactions.
    note
    • The maximum number you can specify here is

      0
      .
  5. The 1st 4 options won't be selectable if you entered
    0
     in the previous step. If you entered a number larger than 
    0
    , continue following these steps.
    note
    You won't be able to mark some of the checkboxes if you enter 0 for the transaction amount.

Summaries will still be captured. To do this, select the
    Enter summary if cost basis is not available.
     checkbox.

     checkbox.

    note
    • This option won't apply if only summary information is captured due to the number of transactions exceeding the specified number.
    • If the brokerage statement includes an Other/Unknown Realized gain/loss statement and if the date sold and date acquired is provided, then OCR will capture detailed transactions. If the date acquired isn't provided but summaries are available, then OCR will capture summary information only. If the date acquired isn't provided but summaries aren't available, details will still be captured. This will override the option selected in the
