In 2020 I received a distribution check from a previously liquidated long-term real estate investment fund. The fund was liquidated several years ago, but additional funds were recovered. There was no form included with the check, as the distributing organization said they didn't provide forms for under $600. Does this need to be reported to the IRS, and if so, how? Is there a form?

Death-n-taxes,
You are legally required to report it as capital gain income. I've had at least a dozen such situations over the years as sundry stockholder lawsuits reached a settlement. Put in the amount you received as the sales price. Put in $0 for the cost basis. Mark the transaction as Various Long Term, Basis not Reported to the IRS.
Thanks so much! I appreciate you sharing your experience.
