Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Your cash liquidation distribution was likely reported on a 1099-DIV, box number 9.  To the extent the cash liquidation distribution represents a return of your capital, it is not taxable; however, it still should be reported on your return.  Any amount in excess of your capital is also taxable, and reported as a capital gain.

 

If you are using TurboTax online, review the Investment & Savings section (Stocks, Mutual Funds, Cryptocurrency) and see if the $410 has been included in your list of transactions. If not, you can add it.  If it is there, check your cost basis.  A zero as the cost basis would mean that the full amount of the distribution has been taxed as a capital gain.  If you have a cost basis, you can adjust the cost basis amount so that the capital gain is accurate.  

 

If you are using TurboTax CD/download, the cash liquidation should be in the Investment Income section.  

 

If the entire distribution represents a return of your capital, then you can enter your cost basis as $410.  Because cost basis and proceeds would be equal in this scenario, you would have neither a gain nor loss.
