Instructions for Recipient
Brokers and barter exchanges must report proceeds from transactions to you and the IRS on Form 1099-B. Reporting is also required when your broker knows or has reason to know that a corporation in which you own stock has had a change in control or a substantial change in capital structure. You may be required to recognize gain from the receipt of cash, stock, or other property that was exchanged for the corporation's stock. If your broker reported this type of transaction to you, the corporation is identified in the box below your name and address on Form 1099-B. Account number. May show an account or other unique number the payer assigned to distinguish your account. Box 1a. Shows the trade date of the transaction. For aggregate reporting, no entry will be present. Box 1b. For broker transactions, may show the CUSIP (Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures) number of the item reported. Box 2. Shows the aggregate proceeds from transactions involving stocks, bonds, other debt obligations, commodities, or forward contracts. May show the proceeds from the disposition of your interest(s) in a widely held fixed investment trust. Losses on forward contracts and changes in control or substantial change in capital structure are shown in parentheses. This box does not include proceeds from regulated futures contracts. The broker must indicate whether gross proceeds or gross proceeds less commissions and option premiums were reported to the IRS. Report this amount on Schedule D (Form 1040), Capital Gains and Losses. However, if box 12 is checked, you cannot take a loss on your tax return based on gross proceeds from an acquisition of control or substantial change in capital structure reported in box 2. Do not report this loss on Schedule D (Form 1040). The broker should advise you of any losses on a separate statement. Box 3. Shows the cash you received, the fair market value of any property or services you received, and/or the fair market value of any trade credits or scrip credited to your account by a barter exchange. See Pub. 525, Taxable and Nontaxable Income, for information on how to report this income. Box 4. Shows backup withholding. Generally, a payer must backup withhold at a 28% rate if you did not furnish your taxpayer identification number to the payer. See Form W-9, Request for Taxpayer Identification Number and Certification, for information on backup withholding. Include this amount on your income tax return as tax withheld. Box 5. Shows the number of shares of the corporation's stock that you held which were exchanged in the change in control or substantial change in capital structure. Box 6. Shows the class or classes of the corporation's stock that were exchanged in the change in control or substantial change in capital structure. Box 7. Shows a brief description of the item or service for which the proceeds or bartering income is being reported. For regulated futures contracts and forward contracts, "RFC" or other appropriate description may be shown. Regulated Futures Contracts: Box 8. Shows the profit or (loss) realized on regulated futures or foreign currency contracts closed during 2008. Box 9. Shows any year-end adjustment to the profit or (loss) shown in box 8 due to open contracts on December 31, 2007. Box 10. Shows the unrealized profit or (loss) on open contracts held in your account on December 31, 2008. These are considered sold as of that date. This will become an adjustment reported in box 9 in 2009. Box 11. Boxes 8, 9, and 10 are all used to figure the aggregate profit or (loss) on regulated futures or foreign currency contracts for the year. Include this amount on your 2008 Form 6781.
