john31 is an unknown quantity at this point
I have a loss of approximately $3k from 2008 and I'm trying to file this.

I heard about claiming the loss on line 21. Does this mean I need to itemize each and every Forex transaction on Schedule D1 (there are a few hundred of them).

I read that wash sales do not apply to Forex spot- does this mean that I only need to be concerned with listing them as FIFO?

My broker did not send me a tax form like the 1099. It would be nice if I could just attach a list of my transactions and write "$3,000" on line 21 but I'm guessing that's doesn't cut it?

It's a shame because my main question is just about identical to Besarion's from the very end of the webcast but his question was skipped due to its length.

Thanks,

John
