Deductions & credits

Yes, if your 1099-S is for half of the total sales proceeds, then deduct half the cost basis at the time she deeded to you, and half the costs on the settlement statement, to determine your net gain or loss.

 

As posters above mentioned, the tricky part for you may be determining what the actual cost basis was on the deed date.
