Get your taxes done using TurboTax

No.  Since you never actually used the property as a rental, since it was never rented at Fair Market Value, you would not be able to take any deductions from the income other than the capital improvements, purchase and selling fees/costs.  Your travel to there to check up on the property and your friend would not be a deductible expense.  

 

Since you did own the property for 10 years, this is a Capital Gains Sale, so you will be taxed at Capital Gains Rates instead of Ordinary Income Rates.

 

 

To enter your sale of your NY Property , you will take the following steps:

 

  1. Federal
  2. Income
  3. Show More next to Investment Income
  4. Start next to Stocks, Cryptocurrency, Mutual Funds, Bonds, Other (1099-B) 
  5. Select Other
  6. Continue through and select Other again for the type of investment
  7. Answer how you obtained your property 
  8. You will then enter the selling price, dates and the cost basis of the items
