Investors & landlords

Zillow, Trulia or a real estate professional may be able to give you the fair market value of the property in October of 2019.  Make sure that you keep a paper copy of whatever you used to justify your fair market value declaration.

 

It sounds like you are reporting a 'sale' of rental property but there is no 1099-C, etc paperwork available to establish valuation.  If your loan of $379,000 was forgiven, that could be income to you.

 

Do not use the $1 figure.  I am not a lawyer, but I understand that the $1 consideration clause allows a legal agreement to be deemed legally binding.
