Sale of Farm Land

I have Turbo Tax Home & Business:

1. Where do I enter the sale of farm land? There are no conservation expenses on the land?

2. Is Home & Business the right program for this land sale or do I need something different?

Thanks

Sale of Farm Land

The sale of your farm should be entered under the Schedule F, profit or loss from farming, for any piece of the farm property (and/or equipment included in the sale) that is listed in that section of the return. First, you must determine the sales price for each asset, including your home.  TurboTax Home and Business can handle this sale

 

 

You can use the fair market value (not appraised value) for each asset that was part of the sale and you can use the tax assessments to figure out the value of the land, farm buildings and home.  Once you determine the value of each asset add them together, then divide each one by the total to find the percentage.

 

 Use that percentage by multiplying it by the full selling price to arrive at the selling price for each asset.

 

for each asset.
