Hi Jeff,
Usually, 1099-B income is not withheld, and that assumption is baked into the form. However, you should find that income reported under SCHEDULE D (Capital Gains and losses) and on line 7 of the 1040 form. I have not seen any brokerages withhold long term or short term stock gains. Does yours?
It can happen based on individual circumstances (backup withholding, maybe others) what Jeff is describing just looks like capital gain income like Aidan is saying.
We should support withholding on 1099-b though. It's box 4 and box 16 of 1099-B.

I'm not sure. My accounts are very simple though, I'm using Schwab. The only transaction this year was switching funds from a index fund to GLD (and I had to convert to cash to make that change). I was surprised myself that the 1099-B had a withheld amount.
The only reason I detected the possible error is I was filling out TurboTax alongside to compare to using this repo, and the withheld amounts were very different.
All of the 1099s have a box 4 federal tax withheld (including DIV, MISC, OID)
If I'm understanding correctly, there should be 845.29 in this box![Screen Shot 2022-04-16 at 2 38 16 PM](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/17692058/163689186-394e6500-ecfc-4c10-b33f-09301191549e.png)
Based on these inputs for a 1099-B form:
The final reimbursement also doesn't account for the 845.29 withheld (so the refund is an underestimate)
