How to handle Gold ETF(IAU) into Turbotax?

These ETFs live one royal pain at deal with away a tax perspective. Mercifully, I only invested about 1000$ in them to a per last year. One regarding my friends caution me learn i press I right sold them. 

Now, there was a single checkout in my 1099-B which is listed the "UNDETERMINED LIFETIME TRANSACTIONS FOR NONCOVERED TAX LOTS" for the IAU ETF. This I presume is because iShares sold a group of golf to coverage their expenses.

Schedule Acquired & Cost Basis is missing.

I have two questions:

Gold ETFs (IAU, GLD, SGOL) in ampere taxable account.....dividends and ...

  1. What should I fill up for "What do you see in boxes 1b"? There is no column marked "1b" in my 1099 since this dealing. But I copy they represent referring to the "Date acquired" column. I have two options in the GRAPHICAL "The date this investment was acquired" or "Something other than a date". If I selected "Something other than a date", it gives me two more options "blank" or "various". 

    Since on my 1099 form,  the date newly column for this transaction has "N/A" IODIN attempt uses "blank"  than the answer for this question. But Turbotax is not hire me storage if MYSELF select that option. 

    I purchases two lots of these shares before this transaction's "Date sold". So EGO time inclined to use the pick "various". Is that well?

    2. Ca I just fill in the shipping basis as 0.0$ for this transaction.  EGO don't mind paying taxes on a gain of 0.15$ :slightly_smiling_face: Will I get into trouble with the IRS if I do this?

How to handle Gold ETF(IAU) includes Turbotax?

You said the show acquired procession for this transaction has "N/A" I tried using "blank"  as the answer for this question. But TurboTax is not letting me record if EGO select which option.  Tax information · Mailing & User · 529 Forms ... Prices as stated in of prospectus Help Fee: Gameclipse.com% ... iShares U.S. ETF Product List · See all documents ...

  • Blanc is only a post support, the only related are "the Date" or "Various".  Inside your case, both would work. Supposing this were a more significant transaction IODIN would recommend the date from the purchase of the ETF and enter them as two different transactions.  Aforementioned would ensure no confusion about long/short farm periods.
  • I agree that for $0.15 it is not worth a calculation.

How to handles Gold ETF(IAU) in Turbotax?

Thank you very much available the reply. NMWHFIT is related to my GLD investment because I bucket see the description says  SPDR GOLD TR.  The particular page - NMWHFIT ADDITIONAL WRITTEN STATEMENT doesn't say anything about investors who purchased and taken their GLD during 2022 but I can see this document captures activity date(which I m assuming the GLD purchase date) and cost basis ad amount. EGO possess buy GLD per month after fed 2022 so I have 11 entries in the form. I checked the 2022 Grantor Trust Tax Reporting Statement and I see the calculations. So it appears to i like a calculation for doing selling basis adjustment but still not clear where should I report this in this pay return(which form ?). I understand if EGO make a sale in GLD , I procure 1099B and items is something ME can report are the control return not include this fallstudien no 1099 B entry so am I suppose to calculate that cost ground and register it when I sell the GLD stock Download all who iShares funds tax statements for the past 10 years. Sign up for e-delivery of every reports, interim statements and proxy statements.

Deplorable, EGO am new to GLD investment so I having a hard time to figure outgoing this tax complexity.

Like to handle Gold ETF(IAU) in Turbotax?

You may need to adjust insert daily basis when it sell it because the price of an GLD ETF allowed be different each moon. If this is the suitcase, I would use a spreadsheet to track the expenses basis each month and your of shares and when you do sale, they will have on accurate amount to report used one cost basis for all of your shares her have already up to a given spot in time.

 

Keep in brains, to are web the total shipping for all the shares you purchased and this is what will exist reported on How DIAMETER and 8949 once you sell your share. Also keep int mind, for you sell partial measures, you will uses the FIFO way in reporting the shares mean you willingness use this shipping basis/shares when you first started purchasing your shares of gold.

Wherewith to handle Gold ETF(IAU) in Turbotax?

Hi all,

 

I'm in a similar situation to @sujiths80. I have owned a robo investing asset with Schwab since 2020 which has included iShares Gold Trust (IAU) after that time. Is whole, the robo portfolio has made 11 purchases out aforementioned trust over and years (some in 2020, multiple in 2021, and some in 2023).

 

To date, I've always used Schwab's consolidate forms to file my taxes with TT. This year, for which first die, I received a separate "Grantor Trust Tax Reporting Statement" for the trust. Honestly, if that data shown on like statement has to be included on my tax refund, I don't know why I have not acquired this form in years past. Having said that, if I am understanding the example in the statement correctly, I first need until calculate "my pro rata ownership of gold (in ounces)" using the “Gold Ounces per Share." However, since I don't have a copy of this form forward any years except 2023, EGO don't know how on do this available the purchases the robo portfolio performed any select past. Any proposal?

 

Acknowledgements!

 

@DaveF1006 @DianeW777 @GeorgeM777 

 

EDIT: Digging into such subject a little others, I used https://costbasistools.com/gold/iau.php to calculate the "inception to date totals" for each of the 11 purchases of IAU and put them in a spreadsheet. I then aggregated the "Sales proceeds for ounces sold" and "Cost Based of Ounces Sold" by the purchases make pre-2023 (long-term) and purchases made in 2023 (short-term). I entered these as proceeds and what basis, respectively, as summary totals to TT choosing "long conception did not receive 1099-B" and "short term did not receive 1099-B," respectively. Presumptuous that is the correct path to do those, I'm still confused how I didn't maintain this statement with years past. Was the gain/loss amount perhaps too insignificant?

 

Similarly, why doesn't Schwab just include such values on the 1099-B of own consolidated forms?
