Deductions & credits

Brokers are required to report redemptions of assets as sales even if the amount is a return of principle. 

 

Any amount listed as gross proceeds on a 1099-B must be reported by you on your tax return.

 

To report these transactions, use the dates and gross proceeds from the 1099-B. For the basis, use the same figure as the gross proceeds. This will allow you show the gross proceeds, but the net gain will be $0.
