Schedule D from a Form 8949 worksheet
The 2025 Form 8949 tells you where each digital-asset checkbox total goes on Schedule D. This worksheet follows that map and writes nothing in boxes A through F. The instructions say not to use box C or box F for a digital asset. The file is a review with a tax pro. It is not a complete Schedule D.
| Form 8949 box | When BasisFix uses it | Schedule D line |
|---|---|---|
| G | Short-term, and a 1099-DA reported basis | 1b |
| H | Short-term, and a 1099-DA did not report basis | 2 |
| I | Short-term default, no 1099-DA | 3 |
| J | Long-term, and a 1099-DA reported basis | 8b |
| K | Long-term, and a 1099-DA did not report basis | 9 |
| L | Long-term default, no 1099-DA | 10 |
The summary’s line 16 is the net of the included rows only. A row with missing basis stays on the worksheet and is excluded from that net. Carryovers, Form 6252, partnership K-1s, and sales that never entered this file are outside the figure. Ordinary income from interest, mining, or a referral is not a Schedule D line here. It is on the income summary. See Form 8949 for bitcoin and Form 1099-DA.
Questions
Which Schedule D line gets box I?
Line 3. Box G totals go to line 1b, box H to line 2, box J to line 8b, box K to line 9, and box L to line 10.
Is line 16 the whole return?
No. On this summary, line 16 is the net of the rows this worksheet included. Other Schedule D lines and other forms are outside the file.
Does an excluded row change line 16?
No. A sale that is missing basis is shown and left out of the gain total. Line 16 does not treat that hole as zero.
