Government not notified of stock sale

You report the sale on Schedule D of the 1040.

Yes.

sale of S corp shares does not require a 1099 to be issued you should check with your CPA & attorney to see if there are any other filings required ___________________________________

To report the sale on your tax return.

Yes to both.

The failure to receive a 1099 does *not* relieve you of your obligation to report the income. It only makes it harder for the IRS to catch you if you cheat.

The government doesn't issue those. A buyer doesn't have to either.

Your next step is to pay the appropriate tax (the shares are probably capital gain). Not paying is illegal. (Or do you mean that the S corp allocated you $6500 that it should have allocated to him because he owned the shares? In that case, you don't include it, and try to get the S corp to correct the documents it sent you.) Seth

Thanks very much to all who answered. I put the income on Sch. D as recommended -- the shares went to an individual, no to the company, but I was able to fill in all the information in any case. I feel much better now.
