If you don't state to borrow against your shares (held in the box) then the normal routine is that the broker shorts against shares he borrows from the brokerage/transfer agent.

Actually, while the above is true, I don't see the difference for TAX reporting purposes. I suppose you can just short a stock any way you want to, and if you also have a long position the IRS would invoke the rule.
