I borrowed money against a portfolio of stocks (with the understanding
- any increased value will be mine) by transferring the shares to the lender. After 3 years the portfolio value has risen. I now wish to sell the shares and repay the loan. The lender will be the seller but I will receive all funds in excess of the original loan amount. How should this be reported to the IRS. Can the lender show a wash between his cost and sales and I report a capital gain for which there will be no broker statements. We have a loan document confirming that any increased value, if any, will go to the borrower.
