Deductions & credits
IRS form 1099-B flows to IRS form 8949. IRS form 8949 flows to Schedule D Capital Gains and Losses.
The items may be lumped together but I would report two categories:
- personal items sold for less than their basis, and
- personal items sold for more than their basis.
Personal items sold for less than their basis (most likely, the original purchase price) report $0 capital gain on line 7 of the Federal 1040 tax return.
Personal items sold for more than their basis report the gain on line 7 of the Federal 1040 tax return. See this example.
Selling Cost
Price Basis
Couch $500 $2,000 Capital loss on personal item = $0 loss
Jewelry $400 $300 Capital gain on personal item = $100 gain
Chair $100 $100 No capital gain or loss
$1,000 $2,400
Any loss on the personal items are reported as $0 and the losses may not offset the gains on the personal items.
