Get your taxes done using TurboTax
@scocpm , sorry for taking along time to respond-- please forgive. Below I will try cover the issues:
(a) First you need to declare this inherited property as a long term transaction i.e. part II of the form 8949. I am assuming that you are using window's version of TurboTax and in step-by-step mode
(b) the entries you mentioned in your post for the cols. (a) through (c) appears correct. ( i.e. address of property; "inherited"; closing date of the sale.
(c) col. (d) would be sales price LESS sales commission , sales prop cost (e.g. required repairs, replacement of appliances, bring up to code repairs , title search / insurance, transfer tax etc. etc. .
(d) col (e) would be the appraised Fair Market Value of the asset on the day of death of the decedent
(e) the entries for col ( f) and (g) are described in great detail on pages 5and 6 of the 8949 instructions for year 2023. Please follow the instructions.
The instructions for the form, 8949 is the most authoritative answer you will find and one can always use these as basis for defense in case of any challenge by the IRS ( although they often will say in any conflict between instructions and statute , the statutes win ).
Is there more I can do for you?
Again please accept my humble apologies for the delay and hope this has not caused too much
inconvenience.
