declaring proceeds and losses from online trader on stocks?

I received a consolidated 1099 from my online broker. Box 2 states "stocks, bonds, etc. Gross proceeds less commission & option premium". Do I take that total amount and subtract that from what I initially paid for every stock (minus the commision) for my total losses or gains on the supplemental D ?? First timer with stocks, the total amount says 56.10. Would this be my procceeds or total amount invested by me? HELP?!

Your cost basis is what you paid PLUS the purchase commission.
Your sales price is what is shown on the 1099-B.
You have to list each and every transaction on schedule D or D-1 (hint, look at the D-1 and set up a spreadsheet that matches it–then use the spreadsheet as the D-1).
You are accounting for sales of $1056.10. I have no idea how much your gain/loss was.
