How do you read composite 1099 statement summary?

Normally there is a summary page, which shows the different amounts that would need to be reported as different types of income, sometimes on different 1099 form versions (like interest, dividend or broker). The detail of where those amounts came from is normally following...like all the activity in your account, the dividedns their becoming shown in the aummary for 1099-DIV (and qualifying or not as required), Interest - same thing etc. If you can't figure it out really, you need to have someone else do your return...this information is the easy part...and a 1099 consolidated is made to make it even easier.
