I received a form Long-Term Realized Gain/Loss (not sent to IRS) attached to the 1099-Div, 1099-Misc, 1099-B, 1099-OID, that I received for the sale of a GS USA CD Zero Cpn. It says this is a contingent debt instrument and it shows an amount as Ordinary Loss. I do not itemize on Schedule A I take standard deduction. Where do I enter this loss amount?

It appears that if you follow these instruction you end up reporting capital loss on your cd sale. Capital loss usually taxed at lower rate than ordinary income, so you will lose some money.
