A debit is money paid out or a loss, a credit in income or a gain.
Is an unrealized loss reported to IRS?
A debit shows a asset or expense transaction, and a credit shows a liability or gain. So debit is the sum of money owing and credit is sum of money at someones disposal.
Unrealized gains and losses are typically recorded in the equity section of the balance sheet under "Other Comprehensive Income" or in a separate account called "Unrealized Gain/Loss on Investments." For specific accounting systems, unrealized losses can be categorized under "Loss on Investments," while unrealized gains may be recorded as "Gain on Investments." These accounts reflect changes in the value of investments that have not yet been sold, impacting the financial statements without affecting cash flow.

An Unrealized Gain on Investment is almost like revenue. It occurs when the market price of a trading security is higher than the actual price the company holding it paid for. Say a company buys stock in company XYZ, Inc. for $5,000. At the end of the year the current market value for said stock is $7,000. This is + $2,000 more than they paid, so it is a gain. It is "Unrealized" because the company still owns the trade security.
