All i want is to make a copy of the qualified dividends of capital gains and loss worksheet . They have it in the instruction booklet, but with a grey background which is bad for me to read with my eyesight. I put that title in the search box and all that appears is Schedule D, nothing about a worksheet. I googled and all i get is the copy of that worksheet for the year 2018, which does me nothing. Does anyone here know how i can get a good, legible copy of it for these 94 year old eyes? I still like to do my own tax's. Here is a link to a Schedule D (capital gains & losses) pdf which you can print. There are also instructions. You should be able to find the other forms you need by searching here. https://www.irs.gov/site-index-search?search=capital+gains&field_pup_historical_1=1&field_pup_historical=1 -- Cheers, Bev Giving advice likely to kill the stupid is called passive eugenics. |

Thank you, but i have Schedule D forms, in fact getting most forms that have a number or letter are the easiest to get....its the worksheets that are hard or even possible to get...Schedule D tells me that I need to do the Qualified dividend capital gains worksheet..and the only one i do see is the one printed in the 1040 instruction book, which with its grey background makes it difficult to read the numbers or the questions. When i was younger i had no probem reading. When i scan and make a printout, the results are even worse. |

A more readable website: https://www.investopedia.com/terms/f/form1099div.asp I suggest you bite the bullet and buy some tax software. I used TurboTax for a while until it lied to me about submitting my return on-line, and now I use HRBlock and send paper. It's cheaper and a little clunkier and sometimes you need to beat it into submission, but it deals with worksheets nicely. I used to do our taxes by hand, carefully perusing Publication 17 to make sure I did things correctly. The software is better. I don't want to think about how nice a car I give the feds each year -- I just want to fill in the forms, write the checks and forget the whole thing until next year. Plenty of other things to stress about :-( -- Cheers, Bev When you wish upon a falling star your dreams can come true. Unless it's really a meteorite hurtling to the earth which will destroy all life. Then you're pretty much hosed no matter what you wish for. Unless it's death by meteor. --Demotivators |
