When looking at my tax return from my CPA, the losses and gains show up on Form 4797 (Part I for the losses and the gain in Part III).I noticed that the loss from Part I was shown on schedule 1 line 4. and helped zero my taxable income in Form 1040 line 15 (I had a negative total income on line 9 and 11).
