inhertance farm sold
I was one of six of my family that inheritance of our family farm ,we had it appraised right away in 2008, the farm property was sold 4/2019 . don't understand if I can use 2008 price as purchased price or not? have a lot of expense in selling and lawyer bills due to a court case over it? I understand I only claim 1/6th of everything. any advice is helpful thanks

Your basis in inherited property is equal to the fair market value on the date of death.
So the 2008 appraisal is treated as the price you paid for it.

Gain or loss is computed on your cost basis, what you originally paid for it, the fair market value of it as of the date of death (if you inherited the property) or the giver's basis (if you received the property as a gift).
