Question

Called Zero Bond

I bought a zero bond that was recently called. The redemption amount was less than my cost basis and my bank statement indicates a loss. Do I report this loss on my tax return and, if so, how do I report it?

Level 15

The transaction will be reported as if you had a 1099-B. You will need the cost basis, redemption amount, date acquired and date sold (called).

Search for 1099-B and select the Jump to link in the search results

Answer Yes to Did you sell stocks, mutual funds, bonds, or other investments in 2021?

Great, thank you very much!

A Zero has its own special rules.

Did you report the imputed interest that you did not get each year?

That changes your cost basis.
