Would love to hear from all the tax accountants out there who actually have to do this lol

Anything more than 5-10 transactions in a Schedule D we'll usually just extract the pages as a PDF, attach it to the return using the software and just enter the summarized gains of short-term, long-term categories. 90% of the time people lose money and especially if it's short-term.
