Please provide more information. Your question is, "if Box 2 the same a Box B"? What information are you inquiring about. If it is on Form 1099B Please describe the requested information so that we can specifically respond to your question.
Below are instructions for 1B and 2 on form 1099B. If this is not your question, please come back to this forum with more details.
Box 1b. This box may be blank if box 5 is checked or if the securities sold were acquired on a variety of dates. For short sales, the date shown is the date you acquired the security delivered to close the short sale.
Box 2. The short-term and long-term boxes pertain to short-term gain or loss and long-term gain or loss. If the “Ordinary” box is checked, your security may be subject to special rules. For example, gain on a contingent payment debt instrument subject to the noncontingent bond method is generally treated as ordinary interest income rather than as capital gain. See the Instructions for Form 8949, Pub. 550, or Pub. 1212 for more details on whether there are any special rules or adjustments that might apply to your security. If box 5 is checked, box 2 may be blank.
