• Transactions involving collectibles, real estate, or crypto‑currency that are not reported on Form 8949.

If any of these apply to you, you must attach Schedule D to your Form 1040.

• Use the correct filing status: Your Schedule D totals feed into line 7 of Form 1040.
• Don’t leave blanks: Enter “0” for any section that does not apply.
• Review carry‑over losses: If you have a loss carryover from a previous year, include it on line 16.
