Reporting capital gain distributions. For 1999, if your only capital gains are capital gain distributions, such as from mutual funds, you may not need to file Schedule D. Instead, the gains generally can be reported directly on Form 1040, line 13. A worksheet in the Form 1040 instructions is used to figure the tax. For more information on this simpler method of reporting, see Capital gain distributions only under Schedule D, later.
