Is reporting being simplified?

[Pacun]

I reported the sale of a primary residence at a loss. This is a very simple process using form 8949 and Sch D and you only have to enter a couple of codes, date of purchase, date of sale, and cost and selling price. I only selected option F, then code L, because I was getting 3K of losses on form 1040 and voila.

I have also noticed that the form (982) to report a 1099-C when the taxpayer is insolvent couldn't be simpler.

I also had a person who sold 3 sets of stocks with no wash sales so I reported them on schedule D with a few entries. This seems to be a nice improvement. Have you noticed any other simplification for reporting certain transactions?

Please comment what I said.

I agree with Pacun.

Another thing made easier for us is stock basis listed on 1099-B by fidelity and others.
