A short sale is a sale of stock that you do not own but borrow for purposes of the sale from a broker.
Brokerage firms are required by the IRS to report all stock and bond security sales, including short sales.
A short sale is considered a sale according to the IRS regulations and must be reported to you and then indicated on form 1099-B.

The IRS does not require that brokerage firms report options sales on form 1099-B. The IRS does require brokerage firms to report the assignment or exercise of options if cash is received as a result of the assignment or exercise.

The difference between the discounted purchase price and the value at maturity is the return or yield on the bond and is called accretion. A bond's accretion must be calculated annually and this amount must be reported to the IRS as income on Form 1099. OID bonds are generally issued at a low or zero coupon and are issued at a deep discount relative to the bond's par value.

A Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) invest in real estate or loans secured by real estate and issue shares in such investments. A Real Estate Investment Trust is similar to a closed-end mutual fund.
