Reporting Capital Gains and Losses

Report capital gains and losses on Schedule D (Form 1040). Enter your sales
and trades of stocks, bonds, etc., and real estate (if not reported on Form
4684, 4797, 6252, 6781, or 8824) on line 1 of Part I or line 8 of Part II,
as appropriate. Include all these transactions even if you did not receive
a Form 1099-B, Proceeds From Broker and Barter Exchange Transactions, or
Form 1099-S, Proceeds From Real Estate Transactions (or substitute
statement). You can use Schedule D-1 as a continuation schedule to report
more transactions.

Be sure to add all sales price entries in column (d) of lines 1 and 2 and
enter the total on line 3. Also add all sales price entries in column (d)
of lines 8 and 9 and enter the total on line 10. Then add the following
amounts reported to you for 2005 on Forms 1099-B and Forms 1099-S (or on
substitute statements):

   1.

      Proceeds from transactions involving stocks, bonds, and other
securities, and
   2.

      Gross proceeds from real estate transactions (other than the sale of
your main home if you had no taxable gain) not reported on another form or
schedule.

If this total is more than the total of lines 3 and 10, attach a statement
to your return explaining the difference.
Installment sales.   You cannot use the installment method to report a gain
from the sale of stock or securities traded on an established securities
market. You must report the entire gain in the year of sale (the year in
which the trade date occurs).

Passive activity gains and losses.    If you have gains or losses from a
passive activity, you may also have to report them on Form 8582. In some
cases, the loss may be limited under the passive activity rules. Refer to
Form 8582 and its separate instructions for more information about
reporting capital gains and losses from a passive activity.

Form 1099-B transactions.   If you sold property, such as stocks, bonds, or
certain commodities, through a broker, you should receive Form 1099-B or
equivalent statement from the broker. Use the Form 1099-B or the equivalent
statement to complete Schedule D.

  Report the gross proceeds shown in box 2 of Form 1099-B as the gross
sales price in column (d) of either line 1 or line 8 of Schedule D,
whichever applies. However, if the broker advises you, in box 2 of Form
1099-B, that gross proceeds (gross sales price) less commissions and option
premiums were reported to the IRS, enter that net sales price in column (d)
of either line 1 or line 8 of Schedule D, whichever applies.

   If the net sales price is entered in column (d), do not include the
commissions and option premiums in column (e).

Form 1099-S transactions.   If you sold or traded reportable real estate,
you generally should receive from the real estate reporting person a Form
1099-S showing the gross proceeds.

  “Reportable real estate” is defined as any present or future ownership
interest in any of the following:

   1.

      Improved or unimproved land, including air space,
   2.

      Inherently permanent structures, including any residential,
commercial, or industrial building,
   3.

      A condominium unit and its accessory fixtures and common elements,
including land, and
   4.

      Stock in a cooperative housing corporation (as defined in section 216
of the Internal Revenue Code).

  A “real estate reporting person” could include the buyer's attorney, your
attorney, the title or escrow company, a mortgage lender, your broker, the
buyer's broker, or the person acquiring the biggest interest in the property.

  Your Form 1099-S will show the gross proceeds from the sale or exchange
in box 2. Follow the instructions for Schedule D to report these
transactions and include them on line 1 or 8 as appropriate.

Nominees.   If you receive gross proceeds as a nominee (that is, the gross
proceeds are in your name but actually belong to someone else), report on
Schedule D, lines 3 and 10, only the proceeds that belong to you. Then add
the following amounts reported to you for 2005 on Forms 1099-B and 1099-S
(or substitute statements) that you are not reporting on another form or
schedule included with your return:

   1.

      Proceeds from transactions involving stocks, bonds, and other
securities, and
   2.

      Gross proceeds from real estate transactions (other than the sale of
your main home if you are not required to report it).

If the total of (1) and (2) is more than the total of lines 3 and 10,
attach a statement to your return explaining the reason for the difference.

File Form 1099-B or Form 1099-S with the IRS.   If you received gross
proceeds as a nominee in 2005, you must file a Form 1099-B or Form 1099-S
for those proceeds with the IRS. Send the Form 1099-B or Form 1099-S with a
Form 1096, Annual Summary and Transmittal of U.S. Information Returns, to
your Internal Revenue Service Center by February 28, 2006 (March 31, 2006,
if you file Form 1099-B or Form 1099-S electronically). Give the actual
owner of the proceeds Copy B of the Form 1099-B or Form 1099-S by January
31, 2006. On Form 1099-B, you should be listed as the “Payer.” The other
owner should be listed as the “Recipient.” On Form 1099-S, you should be
listed as the “Filer.” The other owner should be listed as the
“Transferor.” You do not, however, have to file a Form 1099-B or Form
1099-S to show proceeds for your spouse. For more information about the
reporting requirements and the penalties for failure to file (or furnish)
certain information returns, see the General Instructions for Forms 1099,
1098, 5498, and W-2G.

Sale of property bought at various times.   If you sell a block of stock or
other property that you bought at various times, report the short-term gain
or loss from the sale on one line in Part I of Schedule D and the long-term
gain or loss on one line in Part II. Write “Various” in column (b) for the
“Date acquired.” See Comprehensive Example later in this chapter.

Sale expenses.    Add to your cost or other basis any expense of sale such
as brokers' fees, commissions, state and local transfer taxes, and option
premiums. Enter this adjusted amount in column (e) of either Part I or Part
II of Schedule D, whichever applies, unless you reported the net sales
price amount in column (d).

  For more information about adjustments to basis, see chapter 13.

Short-term gains and losses.   Capital gain or loss on the sale or trade of
investment property held 1 year or less is a short-term capital gain or
loss. You report it in Part I of Schedule D. If the amount you report in
column (f) is a loss, show it in parentheses.

  You combine your share of short-term capital gain or loss from
partnerships, S corporations, and fiduciaries, and any short-term capital
loss carryover, with your other short-term capital gains and losses to
figure your net short-term capital gain or loss on line 7 of Schedule D.

Long-term gains and losses.    A capital gain or loss on the sale or trade
of investment property held more than 1 year is a long-term capital gain or
loss. You report it in Part II of Schedule D. If the amount you report in
column (f) is a loss, show it in parentheses.

  You also report the following in Part II of Schedule D:

   1.

      Undistributed long-term capital gains from a regulated investment
company (mutual fund) or real estate investment trust (REIT),
   2.

      Your share of long-term capital gains or losses from partnerships, S
corporations, and fiduciaries,
   3.

      All capital gain distributions from mutual funds and REITs not
reported directly on line 10 of Form 1040A or line 13 of Form 1040, and
   4.

      Long-term capital loss carryovers.

   The result after combining these items with your other long-term capital
gains and losses is your net long-term capital gain or loss (line 15 of
Schedule D).

Capital gain distributions only.    You do not have to file Schedule D if
both of the following are true.

   1.

      The only amounts you would have to report on Schedule D are capital
gain distributions from box 2a of Form 1099-DIV (or substitute statement).
   2.

      You do not have an amount in box 2b, 2c, or 2d of any Form 1099-DIV
(or substitute statement).

If both of the above statements are true, report your capital gain
distributions directly on line 13 of Form 1040 and check the box on line
13. Also, use the Qualified Dividends and Capital Gain Tax Worksheet in the
Form 1040 instructions to figure your tax.

  You can report your capital gain distributions on line 10 of Form 1040A,
instead of on Form 1040, if both of the following are true.

   1.

      None of the Forms 1099-DIV (or substitute statements) you received
have an amount in box 2b, 2c, or 2d.
   2.

      You do not have to file Form 1040 for any other capital gains or losses.

Total net gain or loss.   To figure your total net gain or loss, combine
your net short-term capital gain or loss (line 7) with your net long-term
capital gain or loss (line 15). Enter the result on Schedule D, Part III,
line 16. If your losses are more than your gains, see Capital Losses, next.
If both lines 15 and 16 are gains and line 43 of Form 1040 is more than
zero, see Capital Gain Tax Rates, later.

Capital Losses

If your capital losses are more than your capital gains, you can claim a
capital loss deduction. Report the deduction on line 13 of Form 1040,
enclosed in parentheses.
Limit on deduction.   Your allowable capital loss deduction, figured on
Schedule D, is the lesser of:

   1.

      $3,000 ($1,500 if you are married and file a separate return), or
   2.

      Your total net loss as shown on line 16 of Schedule D.

  You can use your total net loss to reduce your income dollar for dollar,
up to the $3,000 limit.

Capital loss carryover.   If you have a total net loss on line 16 of
Schedule D that is more than the yearly limit on capital loss deductions,
you can carry over the unused part to the next year and treat it as if you
had incurred it in that next year. If part of the loss is still unused, you
can carry it over to later years until it is completely used up.

  When you figure the amount of any capital loss carryover to the next
year, you must take the current year's allowable deduction into account,
whether or not you claimed it.

  When you carry over a loss, it remains long term or short term. A
long-term capital loss you carry over to the next tax year will reduce that
year's long-term capital gains before it reduces that year's short-term
capital gains.

Figuring your carryover.   The amount of your capital loss carryover is the
amount of your total net loss that is more than the lesser of:

   1.

      Your allowable capital loss deduction for the year, or
   2.

      Your taxable income increased by your allowable capital loss
deduction for the year and your deduction for personal exemptions.

  If your deductions are more than your gross income for the tax year, use
your negative taxable income in computing the amount in item (2).

   Complete the Capital Loss Carryover Worksheet in Publication 550 to
determine the part of your capital loss for 2005 that you can carry over to
2006.

Example.

Bob and Gloria sold securities in 2005. The sales resulted in a capital
loss of $7,000. They had no other capital transactions. Their taxable
income was $26,000. On their joint 2005 return, they can deduct $3,000. The
unused part of the loss, $4,000 ($7,000 - $3,000), can be carried over to 2006.

If their capital loss had been $2,000, their capital loss deduction would
have been $2,000. They would have no carryover.
Use short-term losses first.   When you figure your capital loss carryover,
use your short-term capital losses first, even if you incurred them after a
long-term capital loss. If you have not reached the limit on the capital
loss deduction after using the short-term capital losses, use the long-term
capital losses until you reach the limit.

Decedent's capital loss.    A capital loss sustained by a decedent during
his or her last tax year (or carried over to that year from an earlier
year) can be deducted only on the final income tax return filed for the
decedent. The capital loss limits discussed earlier still apply in this
situation. The decedent's estate cannot deduct any of the loss or carry it
over to following years.

Joint and separate returns.   If you and your spouse once filed separate
returns and are now filing a joint return, combine your separate capital
loss carryovers. However, if you and your spouse once filed a joint return
and are now filing separate returns, any capital loss carryover from the
joint return can be deducted only on the return of the spouse who actually
had the loss.

Capital Gain Tax Rates

The tax rates that apply to a net capital gain are generally lower than the
tax rates that apply to other income. These lower rates are called the
maximum capital gain rates.

The term “net capital gain” means the amount by which your net long-term
capital gain for the year is more than your net short-term capital loss.

For 2005, the maximum capital gain rates are 5%, 15%, 25%, or 28%. See
Table 16-1 for details.

Tip
If you figure your tax using the maximum capital gain rates and the regular
tax computation results in a lower tax, the regular tax computation applies.

Example.

All of your net capital gain is from selling collectibles, so the capital
gain rate would be 28%. Because you are single and your taxable income is
$25,000, none of your taxable income will be taxed above the 15% rate. The
28% rate does not apply.
Investment interest deducted.   If you claim a deduction for investment
interest, you may have to reduce the amount of your net capital gain that
is eligible for the capital gain tax rates. Reduce it by the amount of the
net capital gain you choose to include in investment income when figuring
the limit on your investment interest deduction. This is done on the
Schedule D Tax Worksheet or the Qualified Dividends and Capital Gain Tax
Worksheet. For more information about the limit on investment interest, see
chapter 3 of Publication 550.

Table 16-1. What Is Your Maximum Capital Gain Rate?
IF your net capital gain is from ... 	THEN your
maximum capital
gain rate is ...
Collectibles gain 	28%
Gain on qualified small business stock minus the section 1202 exclusion 	28%
Unrecaptured section 1250 gain 	25%
Other gain 1 and the regular tax rate that would apply is 25% or higher 	15%
Other gain 1 and the regular tax rate that would apply is lower than 25% 	5%
1 Other gain means any gain that is not collectibles gain, gain on
qualified small business stock, or
unrecaptured section 1250 gain.
 
 

Collectibles gain or loss.   This is gain or loss from the sale or trade of
a work of art, rug, antique, metal (such as gold, silver, and platinum
bullion), gem, stamp, coin, or alcoholic beverage held more than 1 year.

Gain on qualified small business stock.    If you realized a gain from
qualified small business stock that you held more than 5 years, you
generally can exclude up to 50% of your gain from income. The exclusion can
be up to 60% for certain empowerment zone business stock. The gain minus
your section 1202 exclusion is a 28% rate gain. See Gains on Qualified
Small Business Stock in chapter 4 of Publication 550.

Unrecaptured section 1250 gain.    Generally, this is any part of your
capital gain from selling section 1250 property (real property) that is due
to depreciation (but not more than your net section 1231 gain), reduced by
any net loss in the 28% group. Use the Unrecaptured Section 1250 Gain
Worksheet in the Schedule D instructions to figure your unrecaptured
section 1250 gain. For more information about section 1250 property and
section 1231 gain, see chapter 3 of Publication 544.

Tax computation using maximum capital gains rates.   Use the Qualified
Dividends and Capital Gain Tax Worksheet or the Schedule D Tax Worksheet
(whichever applies) to figure your tax if you have qualified dividends or
net capital gain. You have net capital gain if Schedule D, lines 15 and 16,
are both gains.

Schedule D Tax Worksheet.   You must use the Schedule D Tax Worksheet in
the Schedule D instructions to figure your tax if:

    *

      You have to file Schedule D, and
    *

      Schedule D, line 18 (28% rate gain) or line 19 (unrecaptured section
1250 gain), is more than zero.

See Comprehensive Example, later, for an example of how to figure your tax
using the Schedule D Tax Worksheet.

Qualified Dividends and Capital Gain Tax Worksheet.   If you do not have to
use the Schedule D Tax Worksheet (as explained above) and any of the
following apply, use the Qualified Dividends and Capital Gain Tax Worksheet
in the instructions for Form 1040 or Form 1040A (whichever you file) to
figure your tax.

    *

      You received qualified dividends. (See Qualified Dividends in chapter 8.)
    *

      You do not have to file Schedule D and you received capital gain
distributions. (See Capital gain distributions only, earlier.)
    *

      Schedule D, lines 15 and 16, are both more than zero.

Comprehensive Example

Emily Jones is single and, in addition to wages from her job, she has
income from stocks and other securities. For the 2005 tax year, she had the
following capital gains and losses, which she reports on Schedule D. All
the Forms 1099 she received showed net sales prices. Her filled-in Schedule
D is shown in this chapter.
Capital gains and losses — Schedule D.   Emily sold stock in two different
companies that she held for less than a year. In June, she sold 100 shares
of Trucking Co. stock that she had bought in February. She had an adjusted
basis of $650 in the stock and sold it for $900, for a gain of $250. In
July, she sold 25 shares of Computer Co. stock that she bought in June. She
had an adjusted basis in the stock of $2,500 and she sold it for $2,000,
for a loss of $500. She reports these short-term transactions on line 1 in
Part I of Schedule D.

  Emily had three other stock sales that she reports as long-term
transactions on line 8 in Part II of Schedule D. In February, she sold 60
shares of Car Co. for $2,100. She had inherited the Car Co. stock from her
father. Its fair market value at the time of his death was $2,500, which
became her basis. Her loss on the sale is $400. Because she had inherited
the stock, her loss is a long-term loss, regardless of how long she and her
father actually held the stock. She enters the loss in column (f) of line 8.

  In June, she sold 500 shares of Furniture Co. stock for $14,000. She had
bought 100 of those shares in 1994, for $1,000. She had bought 100 more
shares in 1996 for $2,200, and an additional 300 shares in 1999 for $1,500.
Her total basis in the stock is $4,700. She has a $9,300 ($14,000 - $4,700)
gain on this sale, which she enters in column (f) of line 8.

  In December, she sold 20 shares of Toy Co. for $4,100. This was qualified
small business stock that she had bought in September 2000. Her basis is
$1,100, so she has a $3,000 gain which she enters in column (f) of line 8.
Because she held the stock more than 5 years, she has a $1,500 section 1202
exclusion. She claims the exclusion on the line below by entering $1,500 as
a loss in column (f). She also enters the exclusion as a positive amount on
line 2 of the 28% Rate Gain Worksheet.

  She received a Form 1099-B (not shown) from her broker for each of these
transactions.

Reconciliation of Forms 1099-B.   Emily makes sure that the total of the
amounts reported in column (d) of lines 3 and 10 of Schedule D is not less
than the total of the amounts shown on the Forms 1099-B she received from
her broker. For 2005, the total is $23,100.

Capital loss carryover from 2004.   Emily has a capital loss carryover to
2005 of $800, of which $300 is short-term capital loss, and $500 is
long-term capital loss. She enters these amounts on lines 6 and 14 of
Schedule D. She also enters the $500 long-term capital loss carryover on
line 5 of the 28% Rate Gain Worksheet. Her filled-in 28% Rate Gain
Worksheet is shown below.

  She kept the completed Capital Loss Carryover Worksheet (not illustrated)
in her 2004 edition of Publication 550, so she could properly report her
loss carryover for the 2005 tax year without refiguring it.

Tax computation.   Because Emily has gains on both lines 15 and 16 of
Schedule D, she checks the “Yes” box on line 17 and goes to line 18. On
line 18 she enters $450 from line 7 of the 28% Rate Gain Worksheet. Because
line 18 is greater than zero, she checks the “No” box on line 20 and uses
the Schedule D Tax Worksheet to figure her tax.

  After entering the gain from line 16 on line 13 of her Form 1040, she
completes the rest of Form 1040 through line 43. She enters the amount from
that line, $30,000, on line 1 of the Schedule D Tax Worksheet. After
filling out the rest of that worksheet, she figures her tax is $3,279. This
is less than the $4,171 tax she would have figured without the capital gain
tax rates.
