"  The idea is a worthy one.  Entering a total for all 1099s in an individual tax return is a sure way to get a CP 2000 IRS notice or an audit.  Carlos Roman CPA."

Really?   I've been doing taxes for 4 decades.  NONE of my clients have EVER gotten a CP 2000 notice because of just entering totals for income.  Now, if that total didn't include ALL F 1099 income, a notice would be generated.  But that notice would have been generated because of under-reporting, NOT because of failing to list one of many F 1099s.

The IRS doesn't look at that detail; I'm not sure if it is even transmitted with the efile.

Edit - there's another thread, stating that MS requires a listing of F 1099's for interest & dividends.  I don't speak "Mississippi", but it is NOT an IRS requirement.
