I have long term gain from stock sold in Canada. Where do I put that on my federal return?

Form 1099-B (Proceeds from Broker and Barter Exchange Transactions) reports the sale of stocks, bonds, mutual funds, and other securities.   Here's where you enter or import your 1099-B (even if you did not get one) in TurboTax:

 

  1. Open (continue) your return if it isn't already open.
  2. In TurboTax, search for 1099-B and then select the Jump to link in the search results.
  3. Answer Yes to Did you sell stocks, mutual funds, bonds, or other investments in 2019?
    • If you see Here's the info we have for these investment sales, select Add More Sales.
  4. Answer NO to Did you get a 1099-B or brokerage statement for these sales?  Or answer YES if you want to try to import it.
  5. Follow the instructions.

Go to Personal; Personal Income, and then to Investment Income.

 

Enter it under Stock, Mutual Funds, etc., without a 1099B (unless you got one).   There you would enter the required information.

 

Make sure you convert the Canadian $ into U.S. $...al transactions on the F 1040 must be in U.S. $

 

Also, if you paid or had any Canadian taxes/WH, you would be able to claim foreign tax credit.  That would be under Deductions & Credits;  Estimates and Other Taxes Paid;  Foreign Taxes
