Instructions for Recipient
Brokers and barter exchanges must report proceeds from
transactions to you and the IRS on Form 1099-B. Reporting is also
required when your broker knows or has reason to know that a
corporation in which you own stock has had a change in control or a
substantial change in capital structure. You may be required to
recognize gain from the receipt of cash, stock, or other property that
was exchanged for the corporation’s stock. If your broker reported
this type of transaction to you, the corporation is identified in the
box below your name and address on Form 1099-B.
Account number. May show an account or other unique number the
payer assigned to distinguish your account.
Box 1a. Shows the trade date of the transaction. For aggregate
reporting, no entry will be present.
Box 1b. For broker transactions, may show the CUSIP (Committee
on Uniform Security Identification Procedures) number of the item
reported.
Box 2. Shows the aggregate proceeds from transactions involving
stocks, bonds, other debt obligations, commodities, or forward
contracts. May show the proceeds from the disposition of your
interest(s) in a widely held fixed investment trust. Losses on forward
contracts and changes in control or substantial change in capital
structure are shown in parentheses. This box does not include
proceeds from regulated futures contracts. The broker must indicate
whether gross proceeds or gross proceeds less commissions and
option premiums were reported to the IRS. Report this amount on
Schedule D (Form 1040), Capital Gains and Losses. However, if box
12 is checked, you cannot take a loss on your tax return based on
gross proceeds from an acquisition of control or substantial change
in capital structure reported in box 2. Do not report this loss on
Schedule D (Form 1040). The broker should advise you of any losses
on a separate statement.
Box 3. Shows the cash you received, the fair market value of any
property or services you received, and/or the fair market value of any
trade credits or scrip credited to your account by a barter exchange.
See Pub. 525, Taxable and Nontaxable Income, for information on
how to report this income.

Box 4. Shows backup withholding. Generally, a payer must backup
withhold at a 28% rate if you did not furnish your taxpayer
identification number to the payer. See Form W-9, Request for
Taxpayer Identification Number and Certification, for information on
backup withholding. Include this amount on your income tax return
as tax withheld.
Box 5. Shows the number of shares of the corporation’s stock that
you held which were exchanged in the change in control or
substantial change in capital structure.
Box 6. Shows the class or classes of the corporation’s stock that
were exchanged in the change in control or substantial change in
capital structure.
Box 7. Shows a brief description of the item or service for which the
proceeds or bartering income is being reported. For regulated
futures contracts and forward contracts, “RFC” or other appropriate
description may be shown.
Regulated Futures Contracts:
Box 8. Shows the profit or (loss) realized on regulated futures or
foreign currency contracts closed during 2007.
Box 9. Shows any year-end adjustment to the profit or (loss) shown
in box 8 due to open contracts on December 31, 2006.
Box 10. Shows the unrealized profit or (loss) on open contracts held
in your account on December 31, 2007. These are considered sold
as of that date. This will become an adjustment reported in box 9 in
2008.
Box 11. Boxes 8, 9, and 10 are all used to figure the aggregate
profit or (loss) on regulated futures or foreign currency contracts for
the year. Include this amount on your 2007 Form 6781.
