Schedule D-IS Instructions - 2012
Installment Sales: An installment sale is a disposition of property in which at least one payment is received by the seller after the close of a taxable year in which the transaction occurs . I.R.C. § 453. Under the installment method, tax is paid on each installment in the year the installment is received. Typically , installment sale gains are reported on Schedule D , Capital Gains and Losses. However, if you are reporting capital gains on installment sales that occurred between January 1, 1996 through December 31, 2002, you must file Schedule D-IS, Installment Sales, not Schedule D. Include on Schedule D-IS any capital gains or losses otherwise reportable on Schedule D. Also, be sure to enclose U.S. Schedule 6252, Installment Sale Income, for each installment sale.
For further information regarding installment sales, see AP 201, Installment Sales and TIR 04-28, Changes to Massachusetts Installment Sale Elections . You may also contact the Installment Sales Unit at (617) 887-6950.
Tax rates for transactions completed between January 1, 1996 and December 31, 2002. Transactions completed between January 1, 1996 and December 31, 2002 which have been approved by DOR for use of the installment method must be added together and taxed as follows. Gains on the sale of capital assets (excluding collectibles) held for more than one year but not more than two years are taxed as 5% income (Schedule D-IS, Part 2, column A), those held for more than two years but not more than three years are taxed as 4% income (Schedule D-IS, Part 2, column B), those held for more than three years but not more than four years are taxed as 3% income (Schedule D-IS, Part 2, column C), those held for more than four years but not more than five years are taxed as 2% income (Schedule D-IS, Part 2, column D), those held for more than five years but not more than six years are taxed as 1% income (Schedule D-IS, Part 2, column E), and those held for more than six years are taxed as 0% income (Schedule D-IS, Part 2, column F). For property purchased on or prior to January 1, 1995, the holding period is measured from January 1, 1995 to the date of sale. For property purchased after January 1, 1995, the holding period is measured from the date of purchase to the date of sale. This holding period remains the same in each succeeding year over the life of the sale.
Tax rate for transactions completed on or after January 1, 2003. In place of the six categories of gain based on six defined holding periods and taxed at six different rates (ranging from 5% down to 0%), legislation provides for a single category of long-term capital gains consisting of any gains from the sale or exchange of capital assets (except collectibles) held for more than one year. Effective for tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2003, the legislation changes the multiple tax rates for long-term capital gains (except on collectibles) to the single tax rate of 5.25%, but only for transactions completed on or after January 1, 2003.
