The IRS rules state each SELL is listed separately. If it is easier for you to show YWO buys and split the ONE compbined SELL in half, then that's fine. If you bought twice in one day and sold it off the same day in 5 dells, you could combined all sells into one. Reasonable combining and reasonable splitting, in compliance with the law is just fine. With 1,100 transactions, you should probably out them into Excel and format them for a decent looking print-out. There are software packages that help import broker data, and some brokerages import nicely into Excel or Quicken almost on their own.
