John owns shares in a mutual fund and shares of individual stocks in his brokerage account. The Form 1099-DIV from the mutual fund indicates $2,000 of capital gains distributions and the form from the brokerage firm indicates $6,000 of capital gains distributions. The brokerage statement also indicated a long term capital loss of $1,850 on a stock sale. How should John report the capital gains distributions?

Question options:

A. He should report them directly on form 1040

B. He should report them on form 8949 and then on schedule D

C. He should report them on schedule D

D. He is not required to report them until he sells the underlying securities

B. He should report them on form 8949 and then on schedule D

Explanation:

John has shares which have capital gains from a mutual fund and a brokerage account. In order to report his taxes, he would need to use the Schedule D(form 1040) for his mutual fund capital gains and the form 8949 for his brokerage capital gains. The brokerage capital gains is then transferred to schedule D.

step-by-step explanation:

c. y = 1/4 x + 5

step-by-step explanation:

first, put the equation of the line on the graph into slope-intercept form

(y = mx + b):   y = -4x + 8

second, a perpendicular line has to have "an opposite/reciprocal slope" to the original slope. so, find the "m" value in your original equation (it's -4, right? )

original slope: m = -4   perpendicular slope: change the sign to its opposite and find the reciprocal ("flip" the number)

new slope is now positive (b/c the original slope was negative 4), and it's 1/4 (not the original slope of 4 or 4/1)
