# Form 8949, Sales of Capital Assets Skill

> Extract data from IRS Form 8949 (Sales and Other Dispositions of Capital Assets) reconciling 1099-B and 1099-S amounts with totals reported on US tax returns.

The **Form 8949, Sales and other Dispositions of Capital Assets** skill extracts data from Forms 8949, which are annual reports about sales and exchanges of capital assets. This form allows U.S. taxpayers and the IRS to reconcile amounts that were reported to them on Forms 1099-B or 1099-S (or substitute statements) with the amounts taxpayers report on their returns.

The Form 8949, Sales and other Dispositions of Capital Assets skill is a preview skill. It has been trained on a limited set of documents and is designed to help you quickly get started with processing Forms 8949. For production use, you may need to uptrain the skill with your own document samples.

This skill recognizes handwritten text. The option is enabled by default. If you do not import handwritten forms, disable the **Handwritten** option in the skill settings.
