As the recipient of the gift, you would not report this on your tax return.     If the gift was greater than the annual gift limit, then the giver should report it on a Gift Tax Return.   Take a look at the following TurboTax help article to learn more:   Where do I report a cash gift?   @Brandon-ish

You can deduct your motor vehicle expenses if you meet all of the following conditions:   You were normally required to work away from your employer's place of business or in different places Under your contract of employment, you had to pay your own motor vehicle expenses. You are not considered to have paid your own motor vehicle expenses if your employer reimburses you or you refuse a reimbursement or reasonable allowance from your employer You did not receive a non-taxable allowance for motor vehicle expenses. Generally, an allowance is non-taxable when it is based solely on a reasonable per-kilometer rate You keep with your records a copy of Form T2200, Declaration of Conditions of Employment, which has been completed by your employer   Did you receive a T2200 form from your employer? If no, you should request it to your employer.

The -$9,809 in adjustments come from Interest on US Government Bonds. I see you already allocated 2,452 to your NYC portion. Assuming you only lived in NYC and then moved to Colorado, it would be the same amount.    Therefore, on your Allocate NYS Adjustment Screens, please enter the following:     @az1890 

A few comments: While Green's Trader Tax Guide may suggest this, upon audit, they have a name and reputation within the Trader Tax preparation world and would be able to deal with the IRS more easily. I wouldn't recommend this.  If you have all the support and records to support your TTS, then you shouldn't need to worry about an audit. If you do shift some ordinary gains to Schedule C, you will need to reflect some transactions on form 8949 adjusting the cost basis to net to zero and reflect the gain on Schedule C. While in the end you net to the same place, it also opens up any potential audit to possibly other items within your tax return.  More IRS scrutiny.   Your call.

Hello, KrisD15! How would someone go about filing this type of "gift?" Would this be under a certain line number on a regular 1040 tax form, Schedule C, or perhaps a 1099? Or are there places on each of these forms to list "gifts" received?    Thanks in advance for your response! I appreciate your help!
