A question to Mama Bear, Anthony, or anyone about reporting short sales for income tax purposes when the short position is closed in a different year than it was opened. I'm new enough to short selling that this is a new experience for me. I initiated several short positions last year that are still open. I understand from IRS Pub. 550 that capital gains or losses resulting from short sales are reportable in the year the position is covered. However, I noticed that my broker is reporting these short sales on my 1999 1099-B even though the positions ended the year open and thus did not result in a taxable event. I'm wondering how to report these sales on my Schedule D.
