Specific Instructions
QOFs must furnish a statement to the person who
disposed of the interest in the QOF investment. For
additional information on furnishing statements, see part
M in the 2023 General Instructions for Certain Information
Returns.
If you are a broker or barter exchange, including a QOF
that is a broker or barter exchange, complete Form
1099-B as usual for all dispositions of interests in QOFs.
Follow the specific instructions for brokers or barter
exchanges (for example, the reporting of basis for a QOF
investment that is a covered security). Complete all boxes
as appropriate, depending on the nature of the interest
disposed. For example, if the QOF investment is stock,
you must complete box 1e to report cost or other basis.
Also, you must check the QOF box in box 3 for all
dispositions of QOF investments.
A broker or barter exchange must file Form 1099-B for
each person:
For whom the broker has sold (including short sales)
•
stocks, commodities, regulated futures contracts, foreign
currency contracts (pursuant to a forward contract or
regulated futures contract), forward contracts, debt
instruments, options, securities futures contracts, etc., for
cash;
Who received cash, stock, or other property from a
•
corporation that the broker knows, or has reason to know,
has had its stock acquired in an acquisition of control or
had a substantial change in capital structure reportable on
Form 8806, Information Return for Acquisition of Control
or Substantial Change in Capital Structure; or

Brokers
A broker is any person who, in the ordinary course of a
trade or business, stands ready to effect sales to be made

by others. A broker may include a U.S. or foreign person
or a governmental unit and any subsidiary agency.
Additional information required for covered securi-
ties. For each sale of a covered security for which you
are required to file Form 1099-B, report the date of
acquisition (box 1b); whether the gain or loss is short-term
or long-term, and whether any portion of the gain or loss is
ordinary (box 2); cost or other basis (box 1e); the amount
of accrued market discount (box 1f); and the loss

disallowed due to a wash sale (box 1g). When selling a
noncovered security and reporting it on a separate Form
1099-B, you may check box 5 and leave boxes 1b, 1e, 1f,
1g, and 2 blank. If you check box 5, you may choose to
report the information requested in boxes 1b, 1e, 1f, 1g,
and 2 and will not be subject to penalties under section
6721 or 6722 for failure to report this information correctly.
However, for a sale, redemption, or retirement at an office
outside the United States, only a U.S. payer or U.S.
middleman is a broker. See Regulations sections
1.6045-1(g)(1) and 1.6049-5(c)(5).
You are not considered a broker if:
You are a corporation that purchases odd-lot shares
•
from its stockholders on an irregular basis (unless facts
indicate otherwise),
Example. Your customer Bella bought shares of stock
in ABC Corporation in April 2001, April 2022, and August
2022. The shares of stock bought in 2022 are covered
securities. The shares of stock bought in April 2001 are
noncovered securities. In June 2023, Bella sells all of the
stock in a single transaction. Even though the stock was
sold in a single transaction, you must report the sale of the
covered securities on two separate 2023 Forms 1099-B
(one for the securities bought in April 2022 with long-term
gain or loss and one for the securities bought in August
2022 with short-term gain or loss). You must report the
sale of the noncovered securities on a third Form 1099-B
or on the Form 1099-B reporting the sale of the covered
securities bought in April 2022 (reporting long-term gain or
loss). You may check box 5 if reporting the noncovered
securities on a third Form 1099-B. If you check box 5, you
may leave boxes 1b, 1e, and 2 blank or you may complete
boxes 1b, 1e, and 2 and not be subject to penalties under
section 6721 or 6722 for failing to report this information
correctly.
You manage a farm for someone else, or
•
You are an international organization that redeems or
•
retires its own debt. See Regulations section 1.6045-1(a)

Reporting
How many transactions to report on each form.
Report each transaction (other than regulated futures,
foreign currency, or Section 1256 option contracts) on a
separate Form 1099-B. Report transactions involving
regulated futures, foreign currency, or Section 1256
option contracts on an aggregate basis. However, you
may report these contracts on an aggregate basis on a
separate Form 1099-B for each type of contract.
How many forms to file for each transaction. Report
sales of each of the following types of securities on a
separate Form 1099-B, even if all three types were sold in
a single transaction.
Short sales of securities. Do not report a short sale
entered into after 2010 until the year a customer delivers a
security to satisfy the short sale obligation, unless there is
Disregard sections 1259 (constructive sales) and 1233(h)
(short sales of property that becomes worthless). Report
the short sale on a single Form 1099-B unless:
Covered securities (defined later) with short-term gain
•
or loss.
Covered securities with long-term gain or loss.
•
•
Noncovered securities (securities that are not covered
securities) if you choose to check box 5 when reporting
their sale.
Closing transactions. In the case of an option, a
regulated futures contract, a securities futures contract, or
a forward contract, a sale includes any closing
transaction. A closing transaction is a lapse, expiration,
settlement, abandonment, or other termination of a
position (which includes a right or an obligation under a
forward contract, a regulated futures contract, a securities
futures contract, or an option).
You are reporting both short-term and long-term gain or
•
loss from a short sale closed by delivery of covered
securities (as explained earlier under How many forms to
The securities delivered to close the short sale include
•
both covered securities and noncovered securities (as
explained earlier under How many forms to file for each
transaction), or
There was backup withholding and other conditions
•
Example. An option that is a covered security, that
also has a basis of zero in the option upon a closing
transaction, enter -0- in box 1e.
Report on Form 1099-B the relevant information about the
security sold to open the short sale, with the exceptions
described in the following paragraphs.
Substitute statements. Brokers that use substitute
statements may be able to report customer transactions
(stock sales (Form 1099-B), interest earned (Forms
1099-INT and 1099-OID), dividends (Form 1099-DIV),
and foreign taxes paid (Forms 1099-DIV and 1099-INT))
for the year on a single substitute statement. For details,
see Pub. 1179, General Rules and Specifications for
Substitute Forms 1096, 1098, 1099, 5498, and Certain
provides the rules for substitute forms.
In box 1a, report the quantity of the security delivered to
close the short sale.
In box 1b, report the acquisition date of the security
delivered to close the short sale.
In box 1c, report the date the security was delivered to
close the short sale.
-2-
Instructions for Form 1099-B (2023)
In box 1e, report the adjusted basis of the security
delivered to close the short sale.
In box 2, report whether any gain or loss on the closing
of the short sale is short-term or long-term based on the
acquisition date of the security delivered to close the short
sale. Apply section 1233(d), if applicable.
If the short sale is closed by delivery of a noncovered
security, you may check box 5. In this case, you do not
have to complete boxes 1b, 1e, and 2. However, if you
choose to report the information in those boxes and check
box 5, you will not be subject to the penalties under
sections 6721 and 6722 for failure to report that
information correctly.
If a short sale obligation is satisfied by delivery of a
security transferred into a customer's account
accompanied by a transfer statement indicating the
security was borrowed, see Regulations section
1.6045-1(c)(3)(xi)(C).

TIH.
Requirement to furnish a tax information statement
to TIH. A tax information statement that includes the
information provided to the IRS on Form 1099-B, as well
as additional information identified in Regulations section
1.671-5(e), must be provided to TIHs. The written tax
information statement furnished to the TIH for 2023 is due
on or before March 15, 2024. The amount of an item of a
trust expense that is attributable to a TIH must be included
on the tax information statement provided to the TIH and
is not required to be included in box 5 on the Form
1099-DIV. See Regulations section 1.671-5(e) for a
complete list of the items of information that must be
included in the statement to the TIH.
Acquisition of control or substantial change in capi-
tal structure. File Form 1099-B for each customer who
received cash, stock, or other property from a corporation
that you know, or have reason to know based on readily
available information, must recognize gain under section
367(a) from the transfer of property to a foreign
corporation in an acquisition of control or substantial
change in capital structure reportable on Form 8806.
Readily available information includes information from a
clearing organization, such as the Depository Trust
Company (DTC), or from information published on the IRS
website.
In the case of a short sale, you can take backup
withholding either:
From the gross proceeds when the short sale is
•
opened, or
From any gain when the short sale is closed if you
•
expect to be able to determine the gain on the short sale
at that time.
Backup withholding. If backup withholding was taken
from the gross proceeds when a short sale was opened in
2023 but the short sale was not closed by the end of 2023,
file a 2023 Form 1099-B. Report the tax withheld in box 4.
In box 1a, enter a brief description of the transaction (for
example, “$5,000 short sale of 100 shares of ABC stock
not closed”). Leave the other numbered boxes blank. File
a final Form 1099-B for the year the short sale is closed,
as described above, but do not include the 2023 tax
withheld on that Form 1099-B.
Widely held fixed investment trusts (WHFITs).
Trustees and middlemen must report the amount of
non-pro rata partial principal payments (as defined in
Regulations section 1.671-5(b)(13)), trust sales proceeds
(as defined in Regulations section 1.671-5(b)(21)),
redemption asset proceeds (as defined in Regulations
section 1.671-5(b)(14)), redemption proceeds (as defined

(17)), and the sales proceeds (as defined in Regulations
section 1.671-5(b)(18)) that are attributable to a trust
interest holder (TIH) for the calendar year on Form
1099-B.
TIP
You are not required to file a second Form 1099-B for a
customer who received only cash for stock acquired in an
acquisition of control if you report the cash as proceeds
from a sale on another Form 1099-B. You are also not
required to file Form 1099-B for a customer who is an
exempt recipient (under Regulations section 1.6045-1(c)
(3)(i) or 1.6043-4(b)(5)). For a list of exempt recipients,
see the current Instructions for Form 1099-CAP.
Enter in box 1d the aggregate amount of cash and the
fair market value (FMV) of any stock and other property
received in exchange for stock held in your custody. Also,
check box 7.
In box 1a, show the corporation's name and the
number of shares of the corporation's stock you held that
were exchanged. Also enter the class or classes of stock
(for example, preferred, common, etc.) that were
exchanged, whether for cash or other property.
Abbreviate the class to fit the entry. For example, enter
“C” for common stock, “P” for preferred, or “O” for other.
Also abbreviate any subclasses.
Leave the other numbered boxes and the CUSIP
number box blank unless you are required to file a Form
1099-B to report proceeds you paid to the customer from
the acquisition of control or substantial change in capital
structure and you choose to file and furnish one Form
1099-B for amounts reported under both Regulations
sections 1.6045-1 and 1.6045-3. If you choose to combine
the reporting for both, do not combine other transactions
the customer may have had during the year with the
reporting of the acquisition of control or change in capital
structure. Also, in box 1e, report the total basis of the
To determine the amount of each item of proceeds to
be reported on Form 1099-B, see, generally, Regulations
section 1.671-5. If the trustee provides WHFIT information
using the safe harbor rules in Regulations section
1.671-5(f)(1) or (g)(1), the trustee or middleman must
determine the amounts reported on Forms 1099 under
Regulations section 1.671-5(f)(2) or (g)(2), as appropriate.
Check box 5 and leave boxes 1b, 1e, and 2 blank if:

greater than the amount entered in box 1d.
d. The United States or any state or a political
subdivision of the United States or any state.
Cash on delivery account. For a sale of securities
through a “cash on delivery” or similar account, only the
broker that receives the gross proceeds from the sale
against delivery of the securities sold is required to report
the sale. However, if such broker's customer is a
corporation, later, for instructions about how to know
whether a customer is a corporation for this purpose. Also,
you must file Form 1099-B for the sale of a covered
security (defined later) by an S corporation if the S
corporation acquired the covered security after 2011.
“second-party broker” that is an exempt recipient, only the
second-party broker is required to report the sale.
2. Sales initiated by dealers in securities and financial
institutions.
Foreign currency. If the purchase amount or sales
proceeds are paid in foreign currency, you must report the
amount of foreign currency in U.S. dollars. Generally, you
must determine the reportable amount (other than
amounts representing accrued interest or original issue
discount) as of the date you receive, credit, or make the
payment, whichever applies, at the spot rate or by
following a reasonable spot rate convention, such as a
month-end spot rate or a monthly average spot rate.
When reporting the purchase or sale of a security traded
on an established securities market, you must determine
the U.S. dollar amounts to be reported (other than
amounts representing accrued interest or original issue
discount) as of the settlement date, at the spot rate or by
following a reasonable spot rate convention. See
Regulations section 1.6045-1(d)(8).
Generally, payments of foreign currency amounts
representing accrued interest or original issue discount
must be translated using the average rate for the interest
accrual period, although certain customers may elect to
translate such amounts using the spot rate on the last day
of the interest accrual period. See Regulations sections
1.988-2(b)(2) and 1.6045-1(n)(4)(v).
Substitute payments. Do not report substitute
payments in lieu of dividends and tax-exempt interest on
Form 1099-B. Instead, report these payments in box 8 of
Form 1099-MISC, Miscellaneous Income. See section
6045(d) and the Instructions for Forms 1099-MISC and
1099-NEC.
Stock options granted in connection with the per-
formance of services. If an employee, former
employee, or other service provider, in connection with
the performance of services, obtains substantially vested
shares of stock from the exercise of a stock option, and
sells that stock through a broker on the same day, then
the broker may not be required to report the sale on Form
1099-B. For details, see Rev. Proc. 2002-50, which is on
page 173 of Internal Revenue Bulletin 2002-29 at
3. Sales by custodians and trustees, provided the sale

regulated futures contract that requires delivery of foreign
currency.

exercises of call options, or entering into contracts that
require delivery of personal property or an interest therein.
14. Sales (including retirements) of short-term
obligations issued on or after January 1, 2014. However, a
broker may be required to file a Form 1099-INT for interest
or original issue discount on a short-term obligation.
Partnership sale. Form 8308, Report of a Sale or
Exchange of Certain Partnership Interests, does not have
to be filed if, under section 6045, a return is required to be
filed by a broker on Form 1099-B for the transfer of the
partnership interest.
securities (defined later) that were acquired after 2011,
you cannot rely on Regulations section 1.6049-4(c)(1)(ii)
(A) to tell whether a customer is a corporation. However,
for sales of all securities, you can treat a customer as an
exempt recipient if one of the following statements is true.
1. The name of the customer contains the term
“insurance company,” “indemnity company,” “reinsurance
company,” or “assurance company.”
Exceptions. Brokers are not required to file, but may file,
Form 1099-B for the following.
1. Sales for exempt recipients, including the following.
a. Charitable organizations.
2. The name of the customer indicates it is an entity

statement within 15 days after the date of settlement for
the transfer.
The transferor must furnish a separate statement for
each security and, if transferring custody of the same
security acquired on different dates or at different prices,
for each acquisition. However, a separate statement is not
required for:
Spot or forward sales of agricultural commodities.
Agricultural commodities include grain, feed, livestock,
meat, oil seed, timber, and fiber. A spot sale is a sale that
results in almost immediate delivery of a commodity. A
forward sale is a sale under a forward contract. However,
sales and exchanges of timber for lump-sum payments
must be reported on Form 1099-S, Proceeds From Real
Estate Transactions.
Report sales of agricultural commodities under a
regulated futures contract, sales of derivative interests in
agricultural commodities, and sales of receipts for
agricultural commodities issued by a designated
warehouse on Form 1099-B. A designated warehouse is a
warehouse, depository, or other similar entity designated
by a commodity exchange in which or out of which a
particular type of agricultural commodity is deliverable to
satisfy a regulated futures contract. Sales of warehouse
receipts issued by any other warehouse are not
reportable.
Sales of precious metals. A sale of a precious metal
(gold, silver, platinum, or palladium) in any form for which
the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has
not approved trading by regulated futures contract (RFC)
is not reportable. Further, even if the sale is of a precious
metal in a form for which the CFTC has approved trading
by RFC, the sale is not reportable if the quantity, by weight
or by number of items, is less than the minimum required
quantity to satisfy a CFTC-approved RFC.
For example, a broker selling a single gold coin does
not need to file Form 1099-B even if the coin is of such
form and quality that it could be delivered to satisfy a
CFTC-approved RFC if all CFTC-approved contracts for
gold coins currently call for delivery of at least 25 coins.
Sales of precious metals for a single customer during a
24-hour period must be aggregated and treated as a
single sale to determine if this exception applies. This
exception does not apply if the broker knows or has
reason to know that a customer, either alone or with a
related person, is engaging in sales to avoid information
reporting.
Exemption certificate. A broker may require an exempt
recipient to file a properly completed Form W-9, Request
for Taxpayer Identification Number and Certification, or
similar form. A broker may treat an exempt recipient that
fails to do so as a recipient that is not exempt. See part J
in the 2023 General Instructions for Certain Information
Returns for more information.

an organizational action that affects the basis of the
security must file an issuer return on Form 8937. This
applies to organizational actions after 2010 (after 2011 if
the stock is in a regulated investment company, and after
2013 for debt instruments, options, and securities futures
contracts). The return is due on or before the 45th day
following the organizational action or, if earlier, January 15
of the next calendar year.
The adjusted basis, original acquisition date, holding
period adjustment, and the additional information for a
debt instrument or option described above are not
required if the transfer statement identifies the security as
a noncovered security.
If the names of the customer(s) for the transferring and
receiving accounts are not the same, the transfer
statement must also include the name of the customer(s)
for the account to which the security is transferred.
However, if the transfer is to or from an account for which
a broker, custodian, or other person subject to the transfer
reporting rules is the customer, the transfer statement
must treat the beneficial owner or, if applicable, an agent
substituted by an undisclosed beneficial owner, as the
customer for both accounts, and the broker receiving the
transfer statement should treat the security as held for the
beneficial owner or the beneficial owner's agent
An issuer is not required to file this return if, by the due
date, the issuer posts the return with the required
information in a readily accessible format in an area of its
primary public website dedicated to this purpose and, for
10 years, keeps the return accessible to the public on its
primary public website or the primary public website of
any successor organization. An issuer may electronically
sign a return that is publicly reported on the issuer’s public
website. The electronic signature must identify the
individual who is signing the return.
Effect on Form 1099-B and transfer statements. In
preparing Form 1099-B or a transfer statement, you must
take into account all the information reported by the issuer
of the security on a statement that the issuer furnishes to
you or is deemed to furnish to you, unless the issuer
statement is incomplete or you know it is incorrect. Take
into account only those organizational actions taken by
the issuer of the security during the period you held
custody of the security (beginning with the date on which
you received a transferred security). If you receive or are
deemed to receive an issuer statement after filing Form
1099-B, you must file a corrected Form 1099-B within 30
days of receiving the issuer statement. But you do not
have to file a corrected Form 1099-B if you receive the
issuer statement more than 3 years after you filed the
original Form 1099-B. If you receive or are deemed to
receive an issuer statement after furnishing a transfer
statement for a covered security, you must furnish a
corrected transfer statement within 15 days of receiving
the issuer statement. But you do not have to furnish a
corrected transfer statement if you receive the issuer
statement more than 18 months after you furnished the
original transfer statement.
regardless of the customer listed for the broker's account.
The person furnishing and the broker receiving the
transfer statement can agree to combine the information
in any format or to use a code in place of one or more
required items. The transferor should determine the
adjusted basis and other information to be reported as
explained in these instructions. If the basis of the
transferred security is determined using an average basis
method, any securities acquired more than 5 years prior to
the transfer may be reported on a single statement on
which the original acquisition date is reported as “various,”
but only if the other information reported applies to all the
securities.
Effect on Form 1099-B and other transfer statements.
In preparing Form 1099-B or a transfer statement for
securities you transfer to someone else, you must take
into account all the information (other than securities
classifications) reported on a transfer statement you
receive, unless the statement is incomplete or you know it
is incorrect. If you do not receive a required transfer
statement by the due date, you must request one from the
transferor. If a complete transfer statement is not
furnished, either after you requested one or because no
transfer statement was required, you may treat the
security as noncovered. However, you must file a
corrected Form 1099-B within 30 days of receiving a
transfer statement indicating that the security is a covered

You must reduce the proceeds by commissions and
transfer taxes related to the sale. For securities sold
because of the exercise of an option granted or acquired
before 2014, you may, but are not required to, take into
account option premiums in determining gross proceeds if
that is consistent with your books. For securities sold
because of the exercise of an option granted after 2013 or
for the treatment of an option granted or acquired after
2013, see Regulations section 1.6045-1(m) for details.

Do not include amounts shown in boxes 8 through 11.
If identical stock is sold at separate times on the same
calendar day by a single trade order and a single
confirmation is given that reports to the customer an
aggregate price or an average price per share, you can
determine gross proceeds by averaging the proceeds for
each share. However, do not do this if the customer
notifies you in writing of an intent to determine the
proceeds from the sale by the actual proceeds per share
and you receive that notification by January 15 of the
calendar year following the year of the sale. You may
extend the January 15 deadline but not beyond the due
date for filing Form 1099-B.

Specified security. A specified security is any of the
following.
Identification of securities. If the customer has
acquired securities on different dates or at different prices
and sells less than the entire position in the security,
report the sale according to the customer's adequate and
timely identification of the security to be sold. If no
identification is provided, report the sale in this order.
Any share of stock (or any interest treated as stock,

such as an American Depositary Receipt) in an entity
organized as, or treated for federal tax purposes as, a
corporation (foreign or domestic). For this purpose, a

stock. If the issuer has not classified the security, the
security is not treated as stock unless the broker knows
that the security is reasonably classified as stock under
general federal tax principles.

prepayments), or any short-term obligation. For this
purpose, a security classified as debt by the issuer is
treated as debt. If the issuer has not classified the
security, the security is not treated as debt unless the
broker knows that the security is reasonably classified as
debt under general federal tax principles or that the
instrument or position is treated as a debt instrument
under a specific provision of the Internal Revenue Code.
Average basis method. Generally, the average basis
method is available for either of the following types of
stock if the customer leaves the shares with a custodian
or agent in an account and acquires identical shares of
stock at different prices in the account.

includes an index substantially all the components of
which are specified securities), any option on financial
attributes of specified securities, or a warrant or stock
right.
Generally, determine the average basis of a share of
stock by dividing the aggregate basis of all shares of
identical stock in an account by the total number of
shares, regardless of holding period. However, for this
purpose, shares of stock in a dividend reinvestment plan
are not identical to shares of stock with the same CUSIP
number that are not in a dividend reinvestment plan. The
basis of each share of identical stock in the account is the
aggregate basis of all shares of that stock in the account
divided by the aggregate number of shares. Unless a
single-account election is in effect, you may not average
together the basis of identical stock held in separated
accounts that is sold, exchanged, or otherwise disposed
of after December 31, 2011. See Regulations section
1.1012-1(e) for details.
Adjusted basis. The adjusted basis begins with the
initial basis (defined later) as of the date the security is
acquired in an account.
In reporting the adjusted basis, take into account all
information, other than the classification of the security
(such as stock), reported on a transfer statement or issuer
return furnished to you or deemed furnished to you,
Any securities futures contract.
•
Noncovered security. A noncovered security is any
security that is not a covered security.
The following securities are not covered securities.
Stock acquired in 2011 that was transferred in 2011 to a
•
dividend reinvestment plan that meets the requirements of
Regulations section 1.1012-1(e)(6). However, a covered
security acquired in 2011 and transferred to a dividend
reinvestment plan after 2011 remains a covered security.
For purposes of this rule, stock is considered transferred
to a dividend reinvestment plan if it is held in a plan that is
not a dividend reinvestment plan and the plan amends its
plan documents to become a dividend reinvestment plan.
The stock is considered transferred as of the effective
date of the plan amendments.
A security acquired due to a stock dividend, stock split,

reorganization, redemption, stock conversion,
recapitalization, corporate division, or other similar action,

unless that statement or return is incomplete or you know
for Actions Affecting Basis, earlier. Also, treat Form 2439
as an issuer return and take into account the effects of
undistributed capital gains reported to you on the form by
a regulated investment company or real estate investment
trust.
You are not required to consider other transactions,
elections, or events occurring outside the account when
determining basis.
You are also not required to apply section 1259
(constructive sales), section 475 (mark-to-market method
of accounting), section 1296 (mark-to-market method of
accounting for marketable stock in a passive foreign
investment company), and section 1092 (straddles).
For a debt instrument, see Regulations sections
1.6045-1(n)(7) and 1.6045-1(n)(11) for the rules to
determine adjusted basis for a debt instrument acquired at
a premium or discount.
The initial basis depends on FMV as of the date of the
•
gift and you neither know nor can readily ascertain this
value.
Short sales. In the case of a short sale, report the
adjusted basis of the security delivered to close the short
sale.
Wash sales. If a customer acquired securities that
caused a loss from a sale of other securities to be both
nondeductible under section 1091 and the loss was
reported as a wash sale adjustment on a Form 1099-B for
the sale at a loss, increase the adjusted basis of the
acquired securities by the amount of the disallowed loss.
Corporate mergers. Report only the net reduction in
basis between stock exchanged and stock received when
reporting the payment of cash paid as part of a corporate
merger, reorganization, or similar event that is taxable
only to the extent that cash or property other than stock or
securities (“boot”) is received and for which no loss can be
recognized. Enter only the amount of the reduction
attributable to the amount reported in box 1d. Enter the
amount as a positive number. However, do not apply this
rule, and instead report adjusted basis as described
earlier, for any stock considered to have been redeemed
or sold, for example, fractional shares of stock resulting
from the merger that are only paid in cash.
Initial basis. If a customer paid cash for a security, the
initial basis is:
1. The total cash paid by the customer or credited
against the customer's account for the security, plus
2. The commissions and transfer taxes to buy the
security.
Example. Your customer Adrian buys 100 shares of
covered stock in MNO Corporation for $5,000 in February
2023. MNO Corporation merges with PQR Corporation in
December 2023. The merger is taxable only to the extent
that boot is received. Adrian receives 100 shares of PQR
stock with a value of $4,700 and $800 cash boot in
exchange for his MNO stock. Adrian's resulting basis in
the PQR stock is $4,700. Report the $800 cash boot in
box 1d, and report $300 in box 1e to reflect the net
reduction in basis from $5,000 (for the MNO stock) to
$4,700 (for the PQR stock).
You may, but do not have to:
Take option premiums into account to determine the
•
initial basis of securities acquired by exercising an option
granted or acquired before 2014, or
Increase initial basis for income recognized upon the

exercise of a compensatory option or the vesting or
exercise of other equity-based compensation
arrangements granted or acquired before 2014.
You cannot increase initial basis for income recognized
upon the exercise of a compensatory option or the vesting
or exercise of other equity-based compensation
arrangements granted or acquired after 2013. For rules
related to options granted or acquired after 2013, see
Regulations section 1.6045-1(m).

Enter the amount of accrued market discount in box 1f.
Box 1g. Wash Sale Loss Disallowed
You must report the basis of identical stock by
averaging the basis of each share if:
Wash sales. Report wash sale loss amount disallowed.
You must report any loss disallowed under section 1091 if
both the sale and purchase transactions occur in the
same account with respect to covered securities with the
same CUSIP number. You are permitted, but are not
required, to report in box 1g all loss disallowed under
section 1091. For example, you may report a disallowed
loss even though a security is sold in one account and
repurchased in a different account. Increase the adjusted
basis of the acquired securities by the amount of the
disallowed loss reported in box 1g.
The stock was purchased at separate times on the
•
same calendar day in executing a single trade order, and
The broker executing the trade provides a single
•
confirmation to the customer that reports an aggregate
total price or an average price per share.
However, do not average the basis if the customer
timely notifies you in writing of an intent to determine basis
by the actual cost per share.
The initial basis of a security transferred to an account
is generally the basis reported on the transfer statement. If
a transfer statement indicates that the security is acquired
as a gift, you must apply the relevant basis rules for
property acquired by gift in determining the initial basis,
except you do not have to adjust the basis for gift tax.
Treat the initial basis as equal to the gross proceeds from
the sale if:

them for $600. Within 30 days of the sale, he buys 75
shares with the same CUSIP number in the same
account. Since his loss is $400 ($1,000 minus $600) but
the loss on 75 shares is disallowed, his disallowed loss is
$300. Report the $600 gross proceeds from the sale in
box 1d, $1,000 basis in box 1e, and $300 wash sale loss
disallowed in box 1g. The $300 in disallowed loss is
added to his basis in the newly purchased 75 shares.

applicable short-term or long-term box, you are required
to check the “Ordinary” checkbox if all or a portion of the
gain or loss may be ordinary. You may not report both
short-term and long-term gain or loss on the same Form
1099-B.
If you check this box, you do not have to complete
boxes 1b, 1e, 1f, 1g, and 2, and you do not have to check
box 12. If you check box 5 and choose to complete boxes
1b, 1e, 1f, 1g, and 2, you are not subject to penalties
under section 6721 or 6722 for failure to report boxes 1b,
1e, 1f, 1g, and 2 correctly. If you do not check box 5, you
are subject to penalties under sections 6721 and 6722 for
failure to report boxes 1b, 1e, 1f, 1g, and 2 correctly even
if you are reporting the sale of a noncovered security.
For transactions that are denominated in a currency
other than the U.S. dollar, brokers must check the
"Ordinary" checkbox because these transactions may be
section 988 transactions to the customer. Because a
customer may make an election to treat gains and losses
on certain section 988 transactions as capital, the broker
must also check the short-term or long-term box to
indicate whether any portion of the gain or loss may be
short-term or long-term. Brokers are not required to check
the “Ordinary” checkbox if the security is a market
discount bond or passive foreign investment company
stock. Brokers are required to check the “Ordinary”
checkbox if the security is a contingent payment debt
instrument subject to the noncontingent bond method.
