Investors & landlords

You can file without reporting the sale of mutual funds; however, the IRS may contact you about the sale.  If so, you can reply in writing and explain that you you weren't required to file due to your income (including the gain on the sale of the funds), and you filed in order to receive a refund of tax withheld.
