Sigh. If the person was looking for how to do the entries, then your response was not only not adequate, but completely useless. There's a lot of homework questions on here and I'm leaving the door open that this might be what they want. The original poster was not exactly explicit in what type of "example" she wanted, so I fail to understand how you can know if your response was correct, or if it was adequate, or whether or not she might need more information. Is there a reason it's hurting you if I simply ask this question of the original poster? I also fail to understand why you're taking offense to me asking her this question. I also fail to understand how you can know whether the original poster found your answer adequate, or whether she thinks my response is worth anything. She is the only one who can decide that, and if she's not looking for the entries and your answer was the one she was looking for, well good for you and so be it. I mean, whatever. Jeez.

You also really don't have much room to talk:

I'd already answered the question that it was not earned income and was a capital gain, and even gave a link to a publication at the IRS. Did your answer that it's a capital asset and counted as capital gain really contribute anything more to the post? No, you were just repeating what I'd already said. But I didn't find it necessary to post back with "Delite contributes nothing to this discussion because I've already answered correctly."

So really, what exactly is your issue?

I've had plenty of things I could have said to your responses. But mostly I've kept my mouth shut. But after this BS nonsense response to me, maybe I won't be keeping it shut any longer.
