I have a question abotu capital gains tax. I did NOT sell any stocks/bonds, but my stocks/bonds are worth about 10,000 more after this year.

Is it correct that I pay tax on that 10,000 even though I have not sold anything?

No.  If you did not sell your stock in 2016 there is nothing that you need to report concerning the stock.  Gains or losses on the value of a stock in an investment account are not reported unless the stock is sold.
