Question

I purchased a Qualified Opportunity Zone fund using cap gains distributions. How do I account this in Turbo Tax (see form 8996)?

TurboTax does not support the Form 8996, unfortunately.  

 

You can download the form from the IRS.  Click here:  https://www.irs.gov/forms-pubs/about-form-8996

 

You would use Form 8996 to certify that the corporation or partnership is a qualified opportunity fund (QOF).  It is also used to annually report whether the QOF met the investment standard during its tax year.

Form 8996 is the tax form for the corporation or LLC established to invest in an Opportunity Zone.  How does an individual taxpayer defer capital gains tax on form 1040 for investments made into the Opportunity Zone corporation or LLC during 2020 tax year?
