Simple Request for Worksheet


Edsel

Recommended Posts

All the normal sources have sent me packing...

Can anyone provide a link for:

  1. The Schedule D worksheet for calculating taxes using capital gains rates.
  2. The similar worksheet when section 1250 gains are involved.

If you can't send a link, can you provide a reliable source?

Thanks in advance - Ron J.

Are you using ATX?  The worksheet is just a jump from page 2 of 1040.

I think you're referring to the line 11a tax worksheet, but the one that changed is the Sch D tax worksheet, which you can jump to from line 2 of the line 11a worksheet.

And here's a link to the Sch D instructions which include the tax worksheet when 1250 is involved, Edsel:

The normal worksheet is part of the 1040 instructions:

Error in Tax Calculation in Schedule D Tax Worksheet (Form 1040)

The 2018 Schedule D Tax Worksheet in the Instructions for Schedule D (Form 1040) contained an error. The tax calculation did not work correctly with the new TCJA regular tax rates and brackets for certain Schedule D filers who had 28% rate gain (taxed at a maximum rate of 28%) reported on line 18 of Schedule D or unrecaptured section 1250 gain (taxed at a maximum rate of 25%) reported on line 19 of Schedule D. The corrected worksheet is at the end of the updated instructions at the link above. If you downloaded those instructions before May 16, 2019, you should download them again. All returns filed after May 15 should reflect the new calculation; the IRS will update any returns filed after May 15 to reflect the correct tax using the new calculation. Because the IRS has already provided the corrected worksheet to its tax software partners, anyone filing a 2018 return, including those with extensions, after May 15, 2019, are not affected by the error.  Those taxpayers reporting these types of transactions typically file more complex returns and frequently obtain tax-filing extensions from the IRS. For that reason, the IRS believes that many potentially-affected taxpayers are yet to file. The correction results in a lower regular tax for most affected taxpayers, and a higher regular tax for a small number of the impacted taxpayers, depending on the taxpayer’s individual return.

Note that most taxpayers filing Schedule D do not have amounts on lines 18 and 19, check Yes on line 20, and do not use the Schedule D Tax Worksheet to figure their regular tax, and are unaffected.

Affected taxpayers need not file an amended return with the IRS or call the IRS. The IRS is reviewing returns submitted prior to May 16; more information will be provided about this review later. 

We corrected the Schedule D Tax Worksheet in the Instructions for Schedule D (Form 1040) by renumbering line 18 as line 18a, adding new lines 18b and 18c, and updating the text on line 19 to reflect those changes.  A Form 1040 taxpayer’s regular tax calculation using the worksheet is potentially impacted if:

  1. Form 1040, Schedule D, lines 15 and 16 are both more than zero;
  2. Schedule D, line 18 or line 19 is more than zero (or both are more than zero);
  3. The taxpayer’s taxable income is more than $38,600 if single or married filing separately, $51,700 if head of household, or $77,200 if married filing jointly or a qualifying widow(er);
  4. Line 15 of the Schedule D Tax Worksheet is not more than line 14 of the Schedule D Tax Worksheet (those lines were not impacted); and
  5. Line 18 of the original Schedule D Tax Worksheet (line 18 a of the corrected Schedule D Tax Worksheet) is not more than $157,500 ($315,000 if married filing jointly or a qualifying widow(er)).

Potentially impacted taxpayers may recalculate their regular tax using the new worksheet to see if it changes. However, the IRS is reviewing all potentially impacted filed returns; more information will be provided later.
