Form 1120 (Schedule D) and Form 1120: Basics
Schedule D: Capital Gains and Losses Definition
The gain or loss from the sale of your capital assets is added first, and then added to your total earnings to arrive at your adjusted gross income. This form is also referred to as Schedule C. If your account is within the limits, you do not have to calculate your capital gains or losses. On the opposite side of the equation, you may have to figure your adjusted gross income by subtracting your deductions. For more information on the net capital gain, see Pub. 575. Example. In 2003, the taxpayer sold the house to its current owner for 100,000. On this basis, the gain of 20,000 (100,000 plus 60,000 from real property) is added to the taxpayer's income and paid to the IRS. The gain is determined on the same basis as for other assets sold, except for the fact that the income of the seller was from noncapital assets. The taxpayer is not required to include in the gross income 5,000 and 20,000, but should report the sale of the house on Schedule D to compute adjusted gross income. Example 2. Your total adjusted gross income from all sources in 2013 is 100,000 plus 10,000 that includes two business-related deductions of 3,000 each. Because your capital gain has been calculated on Schedule D, it should be included on Schedule A. If you have an account balance in excess of 2,000, the gain is treated as a negative net capital loss, which must be shown on the 1040 Schedule C. Example. Your adjusted gross income of 100,000 in 2011 was from only business-related income of 36,000. Because this is an ordinary year for you, you should show the 36,000 as wages; and 100,000 from capital gains of 9,000. The capital gains are not subject to capital gains withholding, nor should they be reported on Form 1040 Line 21. Your capital losses are reported on Schedule D. Schedule E. Other Capital Gains or Losses. Capital gains and losses other than from real property sales are taken as itemized deductions. Capital losses are carried over to later years. Schedule E is generally not filed by the taxpayer whose adjusted gross income is above the basic exemption amount (Form 1040, line
