Allison discovered a bookkeeping error in her business records. The revenues from Toge Pass should have been $85,100 (not the $64,050 originally recorded).
Albert owned 1,000 shares of Behemoth Airline stock with a basis of $30 per share. The stock was purchased 6 years ago on June 10. Albert sells 500 shares of Behemoth stock to his uncle Seth and 500 of the shares to his sister Sara for $5 per share on December 31, 2019.
Please assist with the tax forms that should be be filled out? And for how much? Thank you.
For Form 8949,the transactions are long-term and were not reported to Albert on Form 1099. So on the form, you only fill out Part II. The sale to his sister counts as a related party transaction and therefore that loss is limited. Follow the instructions for Part 2 line 2 on where this amount flows to on the Sch D, then complete the schedule D. There are no short term gains/ losses so you are completing parts 2 and 3 on schedule D.
Long-Term transactions involving capital assets you held more than 1 year are long term. For short-term transactions, see page 1.
Note: You may aggregate all long-term transactions reported on Form (s) 1099-B showing basis was reported to the IRS and for which no adjustments or codes are required. Enter the totals directly on Schedule D, line 8a; you aren't required to report these transactions on Form 8949 (see instructions).
You must check Box D, E or F below. Check only one box. If more than one box applies for your long-term transactions, complete a seperate Form 8949, page 2, for each applicable box. If you have more long-term transactions than will fit on this page for one or more of the boxes, complete as many forms with the same box checked as you need.
(D) Long-term transaction reported on Form(s) 1099-B showing basis was reported to the IRS (see Note above)
(E) Long-term transactions reported on Form(s) 1099-B showing basis wasn't reported to the IRS
