[FOLLOWUP]
I found a very interesting "2020 Known Issues" item on the IRS website.
IRS says:
Schedule D Column (d) all lines should accept a negative dollar amount.
BUT there is an issue, namely, e-File does not allow it.
IRS says:
"The tax software should e-File a positive amount but do the arithmetic with the true negative amount.
Problem will be corrected 2021."
That's exactly what I see on my 2021 tax transcript after e-Filing, which at first sight, was confusing.
So either this is still not fixed, or my tax software still has the workaround.
Note: I did not file with TurboTax.
Evidently, TurboTax has not adopted this recommendation but wants you to get rid of the negative proceeds.
Oh well, on to tax year 2022.
