Wothless stock question

Greetings all,

      I have a Robinhood account where-as I purchsed ABC company in 20 transactions, starting from June 2023, and the last purchase was 03/22/2024 as noted below. This company went bankrupt in 2024 and all is lost. The broker did not report these on my 2024 1099b, now I need to enter them individually.  Here's my question or two.

1. The transactions on March 3rd, 2024 - would they be considered short term, even though it's part of the same company/batch?

2. Now, I do not have a 1099b for these, so my only choice when entering these would be: ' Long Term did not recieve 1099b form', and of course short term for the March 2024 ones.  Am I correct in selecting this option? There's also ' Long-term basis not reported to IRS ( Covered or Non covered) ?

3. In the description box, I would enter for each line item: '50 shares of ABC company - Worthless' ? Is that correct.  Date sold would have to be 12/31/2024  I believe.  On the next screen, your presented with some other options and I selected 'Worthless stock'.  Does all this sound correct? 

4. After I enter all 20 into Turbo Tax, will I be able to file electronically or do I need to mail a paper copy to the IRS?  (I read this somehere).

 

That'all I have. Thanks guys!

 

20 buy transactions for the same stock.

Wothless stock question

You don't need to enter each transaction.  You can enter one transaction for the short term losses, and one transaction for the long term losses.  Instead of an acquisition date, use "Various".  For the disposition (sale) date you should use the date you became aware that the company had filed for bankruptcy (i.e. the date you knew the stock was worthless).

 

You are correct, you will enter as Long/Short Term - did not receive Form 1099B.  

 

The description you put in your question "50 shares of ABC company - Worthless" is fine.  

 

You don't need to mail anything.
