I wish this answer (and the material in IRS Pub 550) covered a liquidated money market fund instead of a liquidated corporation, in my case Schwab PA muni fund SWEXX that liquidated in 2017. The two situations are similar but not identical. My basis in the fund is my initial investment, plus monthly interest payments that were reinvested in the fund over the years. I can't figure out if any portion of the amount in Box 8, Cash Liquidation Distributions, should be reported on Sch D. Or maybe I need to report my entire balance in the fund at the liquidation date as a "sale", with an identical basis, and net gain of zero?
There is nothing in Box 2a Total Capital Gain Distributions, and Schwab did not issue me a 1099-B for stock sales, only a 1099-DIV.
Also, a separate and much smaller amount is indicated on my 1099-DIV as STCG attributable to the liquidation of this fund, and is included in Box 1a Total Ordinary Dividends. Should this smaller amount be reported on Sch D? Thank you.
