Where is box 2 on a 1099 B?

IRS form 1099-B box 2 reports short-term gain or loss, long-term gain or loss and ordinary income.

 

Your IRS form 1099-B may not report a short-term or long-term basis but list the sales date acquired and sales date sold and short-term or long-term is computed.

 

In TurboTax Online, at the screen Review this XXX sale, the entry box Sales section reports short-term and long-term basis.
