Small Stock Sale Report to IRS or Not ? = $5.04

This particular stock sale is a very "small spinoff" by Kellogg

total proceeds is only $5.04

It does not show on the (Schwab 1099 composite)

"Long Term Transactions for which basis is reported to the IRS"

only on the

"Year end summary information not provided to the IRS.

Should I report it ?

Please advise - TIA,

The IRS states that all income should be reported.

If you haven't filed your taxes yet, I suggest you include it.
If you have filed your taxes, I do not suggest filling an amended return for that small amount.
That oversight is minimal and the IRS may simply overlook it.
If not you will get a letter in the mail stating yo owe about $1.00 in taxes.

Please contact us again with any additional questions or to provide some additional details.
