Get your taxes done using TurboTax

No, you report a gain or loss on financial investments only when you sell the investments/capital assets, not when the day-to-day value changes in the market.

 

If you did not sell or dispose of the capital assets, but the current fmv of them has decreased, then you do not report a loss on the sale on your tax return until the sale or disposition occurs..
