Reporting of Investments - After filing of Taxes

First year I've filed taxes in 40 years (my wife always did the taxes before) - so newbie question.

 

I filed my federal and state taxes yesterday using TurboTax Deluxe.  I didn't think I had to file a Schedule D since I hadn't sold off any assets from my 401 and IRA accounts in 2023.   But I guess I need to report them regardless.  How do I file an amended tax return for these accounts using TurboTax?  Is there anything special I need to do or know before doing so?  And is it safe to say that it won't effect my reported taxes since I didn't realize any true income during the year - just capital gains.

    You don't report sales, dividends, capital gains or any transactions inside of 401k or IRA accounts.  Only distributions or rollovers.  Did you get a 1099B for something?

    No.  Didn't get anything for them.  And when I logged into my investment portfolio before filing, I didn't find any forms.  So I guess your answer confirms what I originally thought.  Thanks for the quick response.

    File Schedule D when you filed Schedule D last year with carryforward losses to this year,

    otherwise you will lose them
