Deductions & credits

FMV is the agreed-upon price between a willing buyer and seller, both of whom are reasonably knowledgeable about the property in question.  Since your Dad passed in 2021, and these items were sold in a timely manner in 2021 it is reasonable to conclude that everything sold at fair market value.

 

Therefore, I suggest that you make one entry for the 1099-K that reflects a transaction like a stock sale.  

  • It would be a noncovered Short term sale. 
  • The date acquired is the date of your Dad's passing
  • The date of sale is "Various"  or the date the last transaction took place.
  • The value for cost basis is the same as on the 1099-K
  • The proceeds are also the same as listed on the 1099-K

This will correctly exclude this income from tax as an inheritance should be.

 

  1. Scroll to Investments and Savings
  2. Select Stocks, Cryptocurrency, Mutual Funds, Bonds, Other (1099-B)
  3. Time to kick off your investments! = Okay
  4. Relax. We got it.= Continue
  5. Let's import your tax info = Enter a different way
  6. Select what you want to post from the 5 boxes.
