Deductions & credits

you will go through the process of indicating that they were "sold" in the program.

Assuming they were entered correctly to begin with, you don't indicate that your fees were sold. Read the above guidance.

If they were not entered correctly (you entered them as a depreciated asset instead of an amortized one) you still select YES on the special handling required screen. Then you have to enter the remaining fees to be deducted, manually in the Misc Expenses screen at the end of the Rental Expenses section.

If you select NO on the special handling required screen, you will be forced to enter a sales price. That would be flat out wrong and if they were entered as an asset to begin with, you would either be "forced" to recapture the incorrectly depreciated fees, or they would end up included in the capital gain on the sale.

I know this, because I've tested it in the program.
