Form 1116

Hello

Have a question regarding form 1116. Foreign stock sales transaction reported on Sch D, sales proceeds 129K, cost 59K.

Do I show gross stock sales proceeds income 129K on line 1a & cost 59K on line  2 of form 1116 OR net capital gain 70K goes on line 1 ?

Tax refund or payable amount is different in both situations. There is less tax of 2,500 in approach 2.

Can someone guide for correct approach.

NET gain on line 1, but you should read the 1116 instructions starting on page 7 to see if you need to complete the worksheets and if any adjustment to that figure is required.

Line 2 is for expenses directly related to the foreign income such as work supplies purchased that would be directly related to foreign wages. Basis of stock does NOT go on line 2.
