Deductions & credits

MarilynG1,

Those are exactly the steps I took. But I think I may see the problem. 

 

I did not receive a 1099-S from the realtor, only a HUD-1.

 

What I did:

For "Proceeds" I entered the gross sale price ($800,000).

 

For "Sales Expenses" I entered closing costs and the 6% commission to the realtor ($66,469).

 

Should I have:

Should "Proceeds" be the net received after closing costs and commission and "Sales Expenses" ($800,000-$66,469=$ 733,531) ?

 

And "Sales Expenses" be expenses -- professional fees, inspections, contractors and permits ($126,500)?

 

If yes, where do I need to itemize those expenses or  do I need to itemize them?

 

Thank you,

Jim
