Deductions & credits

If you do not know the exact date, make a fair estimate of the purchase date.

 

If you do not list each item sold, aggregate the sales as follows:

 

  • Capital loss on personal item ($0 loss is allowed on the Federal income tax return)
  • Capital gain on personal item (short-term capital gains on assets held one year or less)
  • Capital gain on personal item (long-term capital gains on assets held more than a year)
  • No capital gain or loss ($0 gain or loss)

Retain a record of the personal items sold should a tax authority have a question at a later time.
