Yes. You need to report it. 

 

The 1099-B helps you deal with capital gains and losses on your tax return. 

  • You pay capital gains taxes with your income tax return, typically using Schedule D.
  • The data from Form 1099-B helps you fill out Schedule D and Form 8949 if needed.

To report form 1099-B on your return:

Form 1099-B (Proceeds from Broker and Barter Exchange Transactions) reports the sale of stocks, bonds, mutual funds, and other securities.

    • If you see Your investments and savings or Your investment sales summary, select Add investments or Add more sales
