As a follow-up to the prior post, while there were apparently no trust sale proceeds from SLV, there were as you noted in your post sales of the underlying assets to pay trust expenses. These sales could result in a gain or loss and thus need to be reported. For SLV, iShares prepared an excel spreadsheet which contains the Tax Reporting Statement, 2022 Gross Proceeds file, and an Example of how an investor in SLV can calculate their gain or loss. You can find this document by entering 2022 SLV Grantor Trust Tax Reporting into a Google search bar and the first search item should be the document you need to access. Use the tabs at the bottom to access the various documents.
For GLD, here is the link to the Reporting Statement. On page 11 are the steps to follow in order to calculate your gain or loss on the sale of gold to pay trust expenses.
