Tax Law (Questions About Taxes) - New GNMA regulations


Expert: John Stancil, CPA - 4/12/2008

Question
Because of the new GNMA regulations regarding Forms 1099-B and 1099-INT, I'm confused as to whether or not I have to report the income in box 2 of Form 1099-B.  This is a repayment of my initial investment.  Am I really being double taxed on this?  In the past I've only had to report my interest income from each GNMA, so I completely confused.

Answer
Jean,

Thanks for your question.

Form 1099-B merely shows the proceeds from the sale/redemption of the security.  Report this amount on Schedule D, along with your cost basis in the security.  The difference is your gain or loss.  If you  held it to redemption, the amounts should be equal.

Hope this helps.
