OfflineFor it's Personal Portfolio Services (let's leave the cost/benefit of this for another conversation!!), CIBC Wealth Management provides an annual "Client Tax Satement - Gains (Losses) from Sale of Securities". There is a long list of transactions and related particulars, but there is also a overall Gain(Loss).
In previous years, I was able to enter this the overall Gain into Schedule 3 as the subtotal "Gain (or loss)" for Section/Paragraph#3 ("Publicly traded shares, mutual funds, etc..."). I could do this because I was either completing the paper returns manually or using a spreadsheet-based return known as MyTax (MyTax lets me punch in the number).
I moved to StudioTax this year because MyTax 2014 is not available. In StudioTax's Schedule 3, the subtotal "Gain (or loss)" for Section/Paragraph#3 is a "computed field", and I cannot directly enter the overall Gain. Instead, the form requires all the particulars for each transaction, and the fields do not match those in the CIBC statement.
Is there a way to override the computed field so that I can directly enter the overall Gain from the CIBC statement? I do not consider it feasible for me to figure out what has to go into the form otherwise. In previous years, I've tried a number of times to delve into the technicalities of how to generate the required data from the CIBC data, and it is a neverending labyrinth. I suspect that forensic accountants might be able to figure it out with sumpreme effort, but that's hypothetical scenario is not helpful in this reality.

OfflineI use StudioTax and enter each stock trade particulars in section 3 of schedule 3. I suppose you could just enter a consolidated transaction putting "CIBC Wealth Management" under "Name of fund/corp and class of shares" and this would carry down to the computed field. I wouldn't recommend this though, as CRA probably does have a right to know the individual transactions.

OfflineThat's actually what I do on Schedule 3. I just enter a few transactions with consolidated values for the proceeds, ACB, and outlays & expenses.
It is a waste of my time to enter in the individual transactions. I had a look at what's in the .TAX file that's uploaded to CRA. It just contains consolidated numbers.
