153.0. "options trade for 91" by SCAACT::MANN () Fri Apr 10 1992 13:31

    
    My brokers statement from Waterhouse Securities for 91 does not
    show options trade.  Do the options trade still go on Schedule D with
    the Stock trades?

Your broker should have supplied you with that information, however, it's
still your responsibility to report it on Schedule D.
153.2no 1099 for optionsSCAACT::MANNFri Apr 10 1992 15:346
    My broker (WS) told me they are not reqired to report options
    trade to IRS.  In the previous years, the options trades were
    included on 1099.  I waa just wondering the total figures on 
    schedule D will be higher than what is reported to IRS.

153.3They changed the rules...again!!!MCIS1::PIACENZAMon Apr 13 1992 09:136
    I attached a note to schedule D explaining the difference and my
    broker's ( stockcross ) statement that they no longer are required
    to include options traded on the 1099.

153.4In fact, you don't need the 1099 total any moreSTAR::PARKETrue Engineers Combat ObfuscationMon Apr 13 1992 14:299
There is no longer a box on this years  schedule D for the
total of all 1099s.  I got quite a start, looking for it, on the
Tax Cut screen.  I looked in the federal 1040 book then, and it
was all gone.  (I guess they got computerized and learned how to
add for themslves }8-)} )

153.5is there a check?YNGSTR::BROWNMon Apr 13 1992 17:227
    Does anybody know if the option trading net proceeds or gains are
    reported to the IRS at all?  It's weird that nothing would be in
    place to verify that somebody pays taxes on big gains from options,
    yet a 26 cent DCU dividend has a 1099 reported.  Unless a full
    audit that examined the complete trading records from the broker
    were done, the IRS would never know?  Seems conducive to cheating...
