• How to file a Capital Gains Loss

    From rogermccarrick@gmail.com@21:1/5 to All on Sun Dec 20 14:18:01 2015
    I have always done my own taxes, very simple W2, some bank interest, 2 kids, some deductions, on a 1040.

    In 2005 while living in Boston MA, I made an investment of $X into a company and received Y amount of shares.

    Now in 2015 I am living in California (since June 2015) and the company has been liquidated and shares are worth $0.

    I received a letter from the company in Dec 2015 with information about the wind down of the company. I emailed the CEO and asked who is going to send me a 1099 to show my loss of all of my investment, he said there are no plans to send a 1099 as the
    company has been dissolved and that the letter should be sufficient documentation for the IRS.

    I can't imagine sending this letter to the IRS.

    How do I claim my $X loss as a capital gains loss on my 1040?
    And what implications does this have for MA and CA state tax returns?

    thanks


    Roger
