Deductions & credits

The seller's fee is the broker fee from the seller's (me) agent.

 

It appears that I'm allowed to use the foreign capital gains tax to offset the gain. My state does not allow FTC so this would reduce my state tax by a lot, which is the one I'm worried, given that the federal tax will be reduced dollar by dollar by the FTC.

 

I found this post.  In section 9.2 in the first answer DS30 says to include all expenses (like Turbotax said), and also the sales tax (capital gains tax?) Being that capital gains tax, broker's fee and attorney's fee are all expenses, it makes me think I should include them.
