    Willie should report this item on his 2019 and 2020 tax returns as 2019-$0; 2020-$6,000 long-term capital loss.

    Explanation:

    In year 2020, the loss of $6,000 is classified as a $6,000 long term capital loss because the stock is not § 1244 stock to Willie.

    Therefore, Willie should report this item on his 2019 and 2020 tax returns as 2019-$0; 2020-$6,000 long-term capital loss.
