Deductions & credits

I'm not sure why the code is being changed. It is safe to file your return as the classification from D to E will still mean the gain will be treated as long-term. The worst that could happen is that the IRS would question the classification, but the tax would stay the same regardless, so no additional tax or penalty would be due.
