Thank you for the response.
I'm wondering *specifically* how I should report that ordinary loss. Some options would include:
a) report on Schedule B as a negative amount
b) report on line 21 of 1040 (other income) as a negative amount
c) report on line 16 of Schedule A (other deductions not subject to 2% limitation)
I'm not sure where to report.
As a related matter, the instructions for form 8949 https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-prior/i8949--2018.pdf say something about including an adjustment on form 8949 with the letter "O" as the adjustment code.
