except the following. See section 1221(a).
Stock in trade or other property included in inventory or
held mainly for sale to customers. However, see the Note,
later.
Accounts or notes receivable acquired in the ordinary
course of the trade or business for services rendered or

or not patented); secret formulas or processes; or similar
property.
U.S. Government publications, including the
Congressional Record, that the corporation received from
the government, other than by purchase at the normal

taxpayer who had received it in a similar way, if the
corporation's basis is determined by reference to the
previous owner's basis.
Certain commodities derivative financial instruments
held by a dealer in connection with its dealer activities.
Certain identified hedging transactions entered into in
the normal course of the trade or business.
Supplies regularly used in the trade or business.
Note. The corporation can elect to treat as capital assets
certain musical compositions or copyrights in musical
works it sold or exchanged. See section 1221(b)(3) and
Pub. 550 for details.
Capital Losses
For a corporation, capital losses are allowed in the current
tax year only to the extent of capital gains. A net capital
loss is carried back 3 years and forward up to 5 years as a
short-term capital loss. Carry back a capital loss to the
extent it doesn’t increase or produce a net operating loss
in the tax year to which it is carried. Foreign expropriation
capital losses cannot be carried back, but are carried
forward up to 10 years. A net capital loss of a regulated
investment company (RIC) incurred in tax years beginning
before December 23, 2010, is carried forward up to 8
years. There is no limit on the number of tax years a RIC is
allowed to carry forward a net capital loss incurred in tax
years beginning after December 22, 2010.
For more information about corporate capital losses,
see Capital Losses in Pub. 542, Corporations.
Short- or Long-Term Gain or Loss
Report short-term gains or losses in Part I. Report
long-term gains or losses in Part II. The holding period for
short-term capital gains and losses is generally 1 year or
less. The holding period for long-term capital gains and
losses is generally more than 1 year.
For more information about holding periods, see the
Instructions for Form 8949.
Items for Special Treatment
Note. For more information, see Pub. 544.
Special rules for determining basis. In general, the
basis of property is its cost. See section 1012 and the
related regulations. Special rules for determining basis are
provided in sections in subchapters C, K, O, and P of the
Code. These rules may apply to the:
Receipt of certain distributions with respect to stock
(section 301 or 1059),
Liquidation of another corporation (section 334),
Transfer to another corporation (section 358),
Transfer from a shareholder or reorganization (section
362),
Bequest (section 1014),
Contribution or gift (section 1015),
Tax-free exchange (section 1031),
Involuntary conversion (section 1033),
Certain asset acquisitions (section 1060), or
Wash sale of stock (section 1091).
Attach an explanation if the corporation uses a basis
other than actual cost of the property. See the instructions
for Form 8949, column (e).
A RIC's or REIT's basis in an asset it held on January 1,
2001, for which it made an election to recognize any gain
under section 311 of the Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997, is
the asset's closing market price or fair market value
(FMV), whichever applies, on the date of the deemed sale
and reacquisition, whether the deemed sale resulted in a
gain or unallowed loss.
See section 852(f) for the treatment of certain load
charges incurred in acquiring stock in a RIC with a
reinvestment right.
Gain from installment sales. If the corporation sold
property at a gain and it will receive a payment in a tax
year after the year of sale, it must generally report the sale
on the installment method unless it elects not to. However,
the installment method may not be used to report sales of
stock or securities traded on an established securities
market.
Use Form 6252 to report the sale on the installment
method. Also use Form 6252 to report any payment
received during the tax year from a sale made in an earlier
year that was reported on the installment method. Enter
gain from the installment sales on Schedule D, line 4 or
line 12, as applicable. See the instructions for Form 6252.
To elect out of the installment method, report the full
amount of the gain on Form 8949 for the year of the sale
on a return filed by the due date (including extensions). If
the original return was filed on time without making the
election, the corporation may make the election on an
amended return filed no later than 6 months after the
original due date (excluding extensions). Write “Filed
pursuant to section 301.9100-2” at the top of the amended
return.

Generally, gain (but not loss) is recognized on a
nonliquidating distribution of appreciated property to the
extent that the property's FMV exceeds its adjusted basis.
See section 311.
Exclusion of gain from DC Zone assets. If the
corporation sold or exchanged a qualified District of
Columbia Enterprise Zone (DC Zone) asset acquired after
1997 and before 2012, and held for more than 5 years, it
may exclude any qualified capital gain that the corporation

Gain on the constructive sale of certain appreciated
financial positions. Generally, if the corporation holds
an appreciated financial position in stock or certain other
interests, it may have to recognize gain (but not loss) if it
enters into a constructive sale (such as a “short sale
against the box”). See Pub. 550.
Gain from certain constructive ownership transac-
tions. Gain in excess of the underlying net long-term
capital gain the corporation would have recognized if it
had held a financial asset directly during the term of a
derivative contract must be treated as ordinary income.
See section 1260. If any portion of the constructive
ownership transaction was open in any prior year, the
corporation may have to pay interest. See section 1260(b)
for details, including how to figure the interest. Include the
interest as an additional tax on Form 1120, Schedule J,
line 9g (or the applicable line for other income tax returns).
Gain on disposition of market discount bonds. In
general, if the corporation realizes a capital gain upon the
disposition of a market discount bond, the gain is
recharacterized as interest income to the extent of
accrued market discount as of the date of disposition. See
sections 1276 through 1278 and Pub. 550 for more
information on market discount. See the Instructions for
Form 8949 for detailed information about how to report the

information, see section 897. Also, see section 897(c) for
the definition of a U.S. real property interest, section
897(k) for special rules for real estate investment trusts,
and section 897(l) for special rules relating to qualified
foreign pension funds.
Gain or loss on distribution of property in complete
liquidation. Generally, gain or loss is recognized on
property distributed in a complete liquidation. Treat the
property as if it had been sold at its FMV. An exception to
this rule applies for liquidations of certain subsidiaries.
See sections 336 and 337 for more information and other
exceptions to the general rules.
Gain or loss on certain asset transfers to a tax-ex-
empt entity. A taxable corporation that transfers all or
substantially all of its assets to a tax-exempt entity or
converts from a taxable corporation to a tax-exempt entity
in a transaction other than a liquidation must generally
recognize gain or loss as if it had sold the assets
transferred at their FMV. For details and exceptions, see
Regulations section 1.337(d)-4.
Gain or loss on an option to buy or sell property. See
sections 1032 and 1234 for the rules that apply to a
purchaser or grantor of an option or a securities futures
contract (as defined in section 1234B). See Pub. 550 for
details.
Gain or loss from a short sale of property. Report the
gain or loss if the property used to close the short sale is
considered a capital asset in the hands of the taxpayer.
Report any short sale on Form 8949 in the year the sale
closes.
If a short sale closed in 2023 but you did not get a 2023
Form 1099-B (or substitute statement) for it because you
entered into it before 2011, report it on Form 8949 in Part I
with box C checked or Part II with box F checked
(whichever applies). In column (a), enter (for example)
“100 sh. XYZ Co. —2010 short sale closed.” Fill in the
other columns according to their instructions. Report the
short sale the same way if you received a 2023 Form
1099-B (or substitute statement) that doesn’t show the
proceeds (sales price).
Gain on certain short-term federal, state, and munici-
pal obligations (other than tax-exempt obligations).
If a short-term governmental obligation (other than a
tax-exempt obligation) that is a capital asset is acquired at
an acquisition discount, then, on any gain realized, a
portion is treated as ordinary income and any remaining
balance is treated as a short-term capital gain. See
section 1271.
Contingent payment debt instruments. If the
corporation sells a taxable contingent payment debt
instrument subject to the noncontingent bond method at a
gain, the gain is ordinary income (interest income), even if
the corporation holds the debt instrument as a capital
asset. If the corporation sells a taxable contingent
payment debt instrument subject to the noncontingent
bond method at a loss, its loss is an ordinary loss to the
extent of its prior original issue discount (OID) inclusions
on the debt instrument. If the debt instrument is a capital
asset, treat any loss that is more than the corporation's
prior OID inclusions as a capital loss. See Regulations
section 1.1275-4(b) and Pub. 1212, Guide to Original
Issue Discount (OID), for more information on contingent
payment debt instruments subject to the noncontingent
bond method.
See the Instructions for Form 8949 for information on
how to report the gain or loss.
At-risk limitations (section 465). If the corporation sold
or exchanged a capital asset used in an activity to which
the at-risk rules apply, combine the gain or loss on the
sale or exchange with the profit or loss from the activity. If
the result is a net loss, complete Form 6198, At-Risk
Limitations. Report any gain from the capital asset on
Form 8949, Schedule D, and Form 6198.
Loss from a sale or exchange between the corpora-
tion and a related person. Except for distributions in
complete liquidation of a corporation, no loss is allowed
from the sale or exchange of property between the
corporation and certain related persons. See section 267.
Loss from a wash sale. A wash sale occurs if the
corporation acquires (by purchase or exchange), or has a
contract or option to acquire, substantially identical stock
or securities within 30 days before or after the date of a
sale or exchange that results in a loss. The corporation
cannot deduct a loss from a wash sale of stock or
securities (including contracts or options to acquire or sell
stock or securities) unless the corporation is a dealer in
stock or securities and the loss was sustained in a
transaction made in the ordinary course of the
corporation's trade or business. For more information on
wash sales, see section 1091 and Pub. 550.
The wash sale rules don't apply to a redemption of
shares in a floating-NAV (net asset value) money market
fund.
Report the transaction as the corporation otherwise
would on Form 8949, Part I or II (depending on how long
the corporation owned the stock or securities). Check the
appropriate box. Enter “W” in column (f). Enter the
nondeductible loss as a positive number in column (g).
Complete all remaining columns. See the Instructions for
Form 8949.
Loss from securities that are capital assets that be-
come worthless during the year. Except for securities
held by a bank, treat the loss as a capital loss as of the
last day of the tax year. See section 582 for the rules on
the treatment of securities held by a bank.
Losses limited after an ownership change or acquisi-
tion. If the corporation has undergone an “ownership
change” as defined in section 382(g), section 383 may
limit the amount of capital gains that may be offset by
prechange capital losses. In addition, section 382(h) may
in some cases limit capital losses recognized after an
ownership change when the loss accrued before the
ownership change. Also, if a corporation acquires control
of another corporation (or acquires its assets in a
reorganization),
section 384 may limit the amount of recognized built-in
capital gains that may be offset by preacquisition capital
losses.
Loss from the sale or exchange of capital assets of
an insurance company taxable under section 831.

Deferral of gain invested in Qualified Opportunity
Fund (QOF). If the corporation has an eligible gain
(defined below), the corporation can invest that gain in a
QOF and elect to defer part or all of the gain that it would
otherwise include in income. The gain is deferred until the
corporation disposes of the investment in the QOF or
December 31, 2026, whichever is earlier. If the
corporation makes the election, only include gain to the
extent, if any, the amount of realized gain is more than the
aggregate amount invested in a QOF during the 180-day
period beginning on the date the gain was realized. The
corporation may also be able to permanently exclude the
gain from the sale or exchange of any investment in a
QOF if the investment is held for at least 10 years.
QOF. A QOF is any investment vehicle that is organized
as either a corporation or partnership for the purpose of
investing in eligible property that is located in a Qualified
Opportunity Zone.
Eligible gain. Gain that is eligible to be deferred if it is
invested in a QOF includes any amount treated as a
capital gain for federal income tax purposes.
See section 1400Z for more details on QOFs and
special rules. Also, see IRS.gov/credits-deductions/
businesses/opportunity-zones.
How to report. Report the eligible gain as the
corporation normally would on Form 8949 and
Schedule D. See the Instructions for Form 8949 for how to
report the deferral. The corporation will also need to
attach Form 8997 to its tax return annually until it disposes
of the QOF investment. For more information, see Form
8997 and its instructions.
Specific Instructions
Rounding off to whole dollars. You may enter decimal
points and cents when completing your return. However,
you should round off cents to whole dollars on your return,
forms, and schedules to make completing your return
easier. You must either round off all amounts on your
return to whole dollars, or use cents for all amounts. To
round, drop amounts under 50 cents and increase
amounts from 50 to 99 cents to the next dollar. For
example, $8.40 rounds to $8 and $8.50 rounds to $9.
If you have to add two or more amounts to figure the
amount to enter on a line, include cents when adding the
amounts and round off only the total.

disposed of any investment in a QOF during the tax year,
check the box on the top of Schedule D and see the
Instructions for Form 8949 for additional reporting
requirements.

stock held for 3 years, showing proceeds (in box 1d) of
$6,000 and cost or other basis (in box 1e) of $2,000. Box
12 is checked, meaning that basis was reported to the
IRS. The corporation does not need to make any
adjustments to the amounts reported on Form 1099-B or
enter any codes. This was the corporation's only 2023
transaction. Instead of reporting this transaction on Form
8949, the corporation can enter $6,000 on Schedule D,
line 8a, column (d); $2,000 in column (e); and $4,000
($6,000 - $2,000) in column (h).
If the corporation had a second transaction that was the
same except that the proceeds were $5,000 and the basis
was $3,000, combine the two transactions. Enter $11,000
($6,000 + $5,000) on Schedule D, line 8a, column (d);
$5,000 ($2,000 + $3,000) in column (e); and $6,000
($11,000 - $5,000) in column (h).
Example 2—Basis not reported to the IRS. The
corporation received a Form 1099-B showing proceeds (in
box 1d) of $6,000 and cost or other basis (in box 1e) of
$2,000. Box 12 is not checked, meaning that basis was
not reported to the IRS. Do not report this transaction on
line 1a or line 8a. Instead, report the transaction on Form
8949. Complete all necessary pages of Form 8949 before
completing line 1b, 2, 3, 8b, 9, or 10 of Schedule D.
Example 3—Adjustment. The corporation received a
Form 1099-B showing proceeds (in box 1d) of $6,000 and
cost or other basis (in box 1e) of $2,000. Box 12 is
checked, meaning that basis was reported to the IRS.
However, the basis shown in box 1e is incorrect. Do not
report this transaction on line 1a or line 8a. Instead, report
the transaction on Form 8949. See the instructions for
Form 8949, columns (f), (g), and (h). Complete all
necessary pages of Form 8949 before completing line 1b,
2, 3, 8b, 9, or 10 of Schedule D.
Lines 1b, 2, 3, 8b, 9, and 10—Transactions reported
on Form 8949. Complete Form 8949 before completing
Schedule D, lines 1b, 2, 3, 8b, 9, and 10. Enter on
Schedule D, lines 1b, 2, and 3, respectively, the short-term
totals from all Forms 8949, Part I, line 2, with box A, B, or
C, respectively, checked. Enter on Schedule D, lines 8b, 9,
and 10, respectively, the long-term totals from all Forms
8949, Part II, line 2, with box D, E, or F, respectively,
checked.
Line 6. Enter any unused capital loss carryover. Attach a
statement showing how the carryover was computed.
Line 14. Enter the total capital gain distributions paid by a
RIC or REIT during the year, regardless of how long the
corporation owned stock in the RIC or REIT.
Also enter any amount received from a RIC or REIT that
qualifies as a distribution in complete liquidation under
section 332(b) and is designated by the RIC or REIT as a
capital gain distribution. See section 332(c).
