Box 10.-- Profit/ (Loss) Realized on future contracts in USD for 2011 ($x,xxx.xx) *** Total Reported for line 10 in USD for 2011..... ($x,xxx.xx) Box 13.-- Aggregate Profit or (Loss) from lines 10, 11 and 12 ($x,xxx.xx) Question: Is the fact tha the amounts are shown in parenthesis proof to be considered a loss? The taxpayer is out of town and I have been unable to contact him. Any help will be appreciated Lucho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
