Question: How to enter in schedule D stocks that I have not sold at the end of the tax year?

Would it be ok to enter them into the this year’s tax report and omit them from last year’s?

Would IRS be OK with a printout of my broker’s P/L statement rather than the official Schedule D or D1 form? I know I could make an excel file look like Schedule D1 but it would be less work this way and I think it is actually better formatted than their Schedule D.

Answer: You only report stock sales, not stocks that you still hold, and they must be reported in the year they are sold. They also want the info on their form, not in somebody else’s format. If you attach a statement, it has to be in their format.
