Question

Do I have to report a stock loss? A -$37 loss is making me pay $129 just for a schedule 'D' form.

Yes.  You'll have to file a Schedule D form if you realized any capital gains or losses from your investments in taxable accounts

 

If you don't report a loss on the sale of a Stock, the IRS will assume the proceeds from said sale to be all profit - assess tax on a false gain.

there may be free versions, not Turbotax, that you may be able to use.
