IRS Tax Tip 2010-35: 10 Facts About Capital Gains and Losses Hello Everyone,
FYI, here is a very nice, brief overview of Capital Gains and Losses provided by the IRS.
As a member of an investment club, you will be dealing with these in two ways. Each year, as your club sells stocks, your portion of the (hopefully) gains but sometimes losses will be reported to you on the K-1 your club will give you. You will transfer this amount to your personal taxes to combine with any other investment income you have and you will pay the appropriate taxes on it.
In addition, as you make contributions to your club over the years you are making an investment in the club. Your basis in the club will be determined by the amount of money you have contributed and withdrawn combined with the amount of taxable income you have had reported to you each year. When you ultimately withdraw money from the club, you will have a capital gain or loss to report which is the difference between your basis in the club and the amount you withdraw. This amount is reported to you on the withdrawal report you receive and will also be reported on your personal taxes.
