windmill Posted February 20, 2009 Report Posted February 20, 2009 Are Roth IRA Losses considered a capital loss and reported on a Sch D or 8606? I have been looking everywhere for this answer. No converson or recharacterization involved. Quote

imjulier Posted February 20, 2009 Report Posted February 20, 2009 If I recall correctly, the account has to be fully distributed prior to claiming losses. Julie Quote
LindaB Posted February 20, 2009 Report Posted February 20, 2009 If I recall correctly, the account has to be fully distributed prior to claiming losses. Julie All of his Roth IRA's have to be distributed in order to claim a loss. Quote
RitaB Posted February 20, 2009 Report Posted February 20, 2009 Are Roth IRA Losses considered a capital loss and reported on a Sch D or 8606? I have been looking everywhere for this answer. No converson or recharacterization involved. This may sound stupid, but the person did withdraw the funds, right? I mean, I have had a ridiculous number of people wanting to deduct portfolio losses and they didn't sell. (Course, they never said anything when they had gains.) Agree with others here, if all ROTH accounts are distributed, the loss goes on Sch A. Hope they can itemize... Quote
