I have a 1099-B from Edward Jones that merely documents CD purchases and redemptions with no gain or loss - do I need to report and submit a copy to IRS?

[DianeW777]

Yes, you do need to report and no you do not need to submit it. Use the instructions in the link to report your 1099-B and you are correct the cost and redemption price are the same.  Each year when you report the interest income it becomes part of the cost basis for the CD. The key is that the IRS is looking for the proceeds.

Yes, as above you should report the 1099-B (with no gain or loss). it is likely that you will receive a 1099-INT for any interest from the CD that was paid to you in the tax year.
