pitkofsky Posted April 20, 2016 Posted April 20, 2016 Are long term and short term capital gains distributions treated as net investment gain and posted to 2b(10)(b) on Schedule H?
My 2 cents Posted April 21, 2016 Posted April 21, 2016 Is there even a line 2b(10)(b) on the Schedule H? I am only seeing 2b(10) as a single line. Always check with your actuary first!
david rigby Posted April 21, 2016 Posted April 21, 2016 Dividends are dividends. See post #2. If LT and/or ST capital gain from mutual funds, it should be included in 2b(10). If LT and/or ST capital gain from something other than mutual funds, it should be included on the appropriate line, such as 2b(4), or 2b(6), or 2b(7), etc. In general, LT and/or ST capital gain is realized appreciation. It should not be included in the unrealized appreciation of 2b(5). I'm a retirement actuary. Nothing about my comments is intended or should be construed as investment, tax, legal or accounting advice. Occasionally, but not all the time, it might be reasonable to interpret my comments as actuarial or consulting advice.
