ElsieCat: I filed trader's status for tax purposes last year for the 1st time. The book: The New Trader's Tax Solution: Money Saving Strategies 2nd edition by Ted Tesser, takes you step by step through the process including how to fill out the associated Schedules C and D for traders.

The book is $20 at Traders Library.

It's correct as a few have already stated that you only need totals in Schedule D. More importantly, trader status saves a nice chunk of taxes.
