In TurboTax (TT), enter at:
- Federal Taxes tab (Personal in Home & Business)
- Wages & Income
Scroll down to:
-Investment Income
-Stocks, mutual funds, Bonds, Other (Timber is other)
Select "No financial institution". Answer no when asked if you got a 1099-B.
Cost basis for timber is usually zero. Timber basis is not the cost of the property.
