You must report all 1099-B transactions on Schedule D (Form 1040), Capital Gains and Losses and you may need to use Form 8949, Sales and Other Dispositions of Capital Assets. This is true even if there's no net capital gain subject to tax. You must first determine if you meet the holding period.
Use Form 8949 to report sales and exchanges of capital assets. Form 8949 allows you and the IRS to reconcile amounts that were reported to you and the IRS on Forms 1099-B or 1099-S (or substitute statements) with the amounts you report on your return.
You'll use Schedule D to report capital gains and losses from selling or trading certain assets during the year. Capital assets include personal items like stocks, bonds, homes, cars, artwork, collectibles, and cryptocurrency. You need to report gains and losses from selling these assets.
For tax purposes, when you sell an investment for more than you bought it, you realize a capital gain. This gain is taxable, and the tax rate depends on the length of time you hold the stock before selling it. Short-term capital gain: A short-term capital gain occurs when you sell assets you owned for one year or less.
You'll need to use the federal Schedule 3 form to report any capital gain (or loss) you have from the disposition (sale or transfer) of a capital property – specifically, shares, bonds, debts, land, or buildings – and if you want to claim a capital gains reserve .
