Hello, just curious, does it really matter if I combine the selling expenses into the cost basis and there would be "zero" adjustment on column g of form 8949? Maybe that is the reason that the earlier posts said to leave column f “blank”? Or which way is better?
Form 8949
a – description - house address
b – date acquired – INHERITED
c – date sold – 5/10/24
d – proceeds - $100,000
e – cost basis - $90,000 fair market value + $16,000 selling expenses = $106,000
f – code – “blank”
g – amount of adjustment – “blank” or “0”
h – gain/loss – negative $6,000 (loss)
