Capital gains + losses

Turn a transaction history into a clear tax filing.

Personal tax preparation for investment sales, property dispositions and other transactions that may create a capital gain or loss.

What information is needed to report a capital gain?

The calculation generally requires the proceeds, acquisition cost, transaction costs and relevant adjustments. The exact records depend on the asset and how it was used.

Situations that may need review

  • Sales of shares, funds or other investments
  • Rental or secondary-property dispositions
  • Cryptocurrency or other digital-asset transactions
  • Capital losses from current or prior years
  • Changes in how a property was used

Do not rely on the sale price alone

The original cost and supporting transaction records can materially affect the calculation. Bring purchase statements, sale documents and records of relevant costs or improvements.

Common questions

Does every sale create a taxable capital gain?

No. The tax treatment depends on the asset, how it was used and the details of the transaction. Have the facts reviewed before assuming the outcome.

What if I cannot find the original cost?

Tell Sangita what records are available. Additional statements or documents may be needed before the gain can be calculated.

Can a capital loss matter in another year?

It may. Bring prior notices of assessment and details of earlier capital losses so the available information can be reviewed.
