Purpose of Form

This Schedule D should be used by a
taxpayer whose tax year begins in 1989 and
who files either Forms 1120, 1120-A,
1120-DF, 1120-IC-DISC, 1120F,
1120-FSC, 1120-H, 1120L, 1120-ND,

These include sales or exchanges of property
used in a trade or business, involuntary

thefts), gain from the disposition of oil, gas,
or geothermal property, and the section
291 adjustment to section 1250 gains. See

Parts | and Il

Generally, a corporation should report sales
and exchanges, including ‘‘like-kind””
exchanges, even though there is no gain or
loss. No loss is allowed for a wash sale of
stock or securities (including contracts or
options to acquire or sell stock or securities)
or from a transaction between related
persons. See sections 1091 and 267 for
details and exceptions.

In Part |, report the sale or exchange of
capital assets held one year or less. In Part
Il, report the sale or exchange of capital
assets held more than one year.

What Are Capital Assets?—Each item of

property the corporation held (whether or

not connected with its trade or business) is

a capital asset except:

1. Assets that can be inventoried or
property held mainly for sale to
customers.

2. Depreciable or real property used in
the trade or business.

3. Certain copyrights; literary, musical,
or artistic compositions; letters or
memorandums; or similar property.

1. Report the full amount of the sale on
Schedule D.

2. If the corporation received a note or
other obligation and is reporting it at less
than face value (including all contingent

e Capital gain distributions.— Report
capital gain distributions paid by mutual
funds as long-term capital gains on line 5
regardless of how long the corporation
owned stock in the fund.

How To Determine the Cost
or Other Basis of the Property

In determining gain or loss, the basis of
property will generally be its cost (section
1012). The exceptions to the general rule
are provided in sections contained in
subchapters C, K, O, and P of the Code. For
example, if the corporation acquired the
property by dividend, liquidation of a
corporation, transfer from a shareholder,
reorganization, contribution or gift, bequest,
bankruptcy, tax-free exchange, involuntary
conversion, certain asset acquisitions, or
wash sale of stock, see sections 301 (or
1059), 334, 362 (or 358), 1014, 1015,
372 (or 374), 1031, 1033, 1060, and
1091, respectively. Attach an explanation if
the corporation uses a basis other than
actual cash cost of the property.

If the corporation is allowed a charitable
contribution deduction because it sold
property to a charitable organization, figure
the adjusted basis for determining gain
from the sale by dividing the amount
realized by the fair market value and
multiplying that result by the adjusted basis.
Capital losses. —The amount of capital
losses allowed may not be more than capital
gains. A net capital loss may be carried back
3 years and forward 5 years as a short-term
capital loss. Carry back a capital loss to the
extent it does not increase or produce a net
operating loss in the tax year to which it is
carried. Foreign expropriation capital losses
may not be carried back, but may be carried
forward 10 years instead of 5. A net capital
loss for a regulated investment company
may be carried forward 8 years instead of 5.
At-risk limitations (section 465).—If the
corporation sold or exchanged an asset
used in an activity to which the at-risk rules
apply, combine the gain or loss on the sale
or exchange with the profit or loss from the
activity. If the result is a net loss from the
activity, it may be subject to the at-risk
rules.
