How do I know if I have capital gains or losses?

You have a capital gain if you sell the asset for more than your adjusted basis. You have a capital loss if you sell the asset for less than your adjusted basis. Losses from the sale of personal-use property, such as your home or car, arent tax deductible.

What is the difference between Schedule D and form 8949?

Use Form 8949 to reconcile amounts that were reported to you and the IRS on Form 1099-B or 1099-S (or substitute statement) with the amounts you report on your return. The subtotals from this form will then be carried over to Schedule D (Form 1040), where gain or loss will be calculated in aggregate.

Who does not need to file Schedule D?

Note that you do not need to file Schedule D for trades in an individual retirement account (IRA) or workplace retirement plan. Thats because taxes are deferred on many of those accountsas long as the money stays in the account. In other words, you dont pay taxes until you make withdrawals.
