Ken,
I have held short positions past the end of the year a few times, and have always just included a note (with my name and number on it, of course) indicating which sales made during the year were uncovered short sales. I have never had a problem from the IRS in regards to this. I believe this approach is mentioned somewhere in the directions for the capital gains form.

Craig

P. S. Best wishes for a healthy and prosperous New Year to all who hang out on Roger's Short Picks thread.
