Covered shares are shares purchased on or after January 1, 2012. Tax Form 1099-B will provide cost basis information for covered shares to both the shareholder and the IRS. Non-covered shares are shares purchased by a shareholder on or before December 31, 2011.

 

”Realized “ just means that the asset was sold so the transaction has to be reported.
