Craig,

I created a spreadsheet that looks like a Schedule D and enter my trades when I receive my confirmations. Then, I simply put the total sales price and total cost basis on the Schedule D and say "See attached worksheet" in the block where the trades normally go. The IRS has never complained about this so I guess it's acceptable to them. The benefit to this is that you can do the data entry throughout the year instead of waiting until the end of the year. You can also use the spreadsheet to calculate statistics like average trade size, holding period, average percentage gain per trade, percentage of winners and losers, etc.
