1099-b

I am an US resident who has RRSP in Canada. I received a 1099-B from one of my RRSP mutual fund which was switched from DSC version to front-end load within the same fund. There is no gain or loss from the switch. On the 1099-B only Box 2 shows $456 for the gross proceed, no other numbers on other boxes. How do I report this on my US tax return?

There really was no reason to issue you a 1099-B. Ignore it, especially if you are deferring taxation on your 8891 for this account.

What is 8891? I never filled out one before.

I guess you need to do some reading... and back-filing.

Where can I find this info, I guess on IRS?

Um gee, do you think maybe this site has all the info you need?

I received a letter from my fund company about they canceled all my 1099-bs due to errors which is good news. But, my accountant told me, I need to fill out TD F 90-22.1 form-Report of foreign band and financial accounts, is this correct?

I found the answer, my accountant is right.
