Investors & landlords

Let me clear up some misconceptions as I read  these various posts. Section 988 trading gains or losses are ordinary gains and losses and is not treated like investment income thus is not reported on a schedule D. As a result, there are no carryovers to offset future income.

 

Please read this link posted by Turbo Tax Expert DaveF1006 for details how to report the income. I know it is already listed above but  I thought i would post it here also. it is very important to note that this is ordinary and not investment income.
