If I have only 'buys' and no 'sells to report on my 5008 are they reported or only the sells when there are some?

Buying of securities is not reported on T5008, only when you sell your securities it is reported on T5008.

Fill out the form in TurboTax with the information from your slip. If your T5008 slip is for a joint account shared between spouses, enter your spouse’s percentage of ownership in the field Enter percentage of slip to claim on your spouse’s tax return (if applicable)

1. Select Done With T5008. The T5008 - Summary step appears
2. Review the information on-screen and follow the instructions below that match your situation:

• If the information is correct, select Done With T5008 Slips
