Investors & landlords

They're called sales expenses (for you the seller), and there's a box for "Sales Expenses" on every screen where you have a Sales Price box.  Typically, the only sales expenses a seller has, are the commission fees. All other fees are usually (but not always) paid by the buyer.

Expenses associated with the acquisition of the loan (which the seller will not have) are capitalized and depreciated over the life of the loan. One (of many) example would be the survey fee if required by the lender as part of the loan approval process.

Expenses associated with acquisition/disposition of the property are added to/subtracted from the cost basis of the property. Typically, the only cost the seller would have for this, would be the commission paid to the real estate agent. But there most certainly could be others, such as listing fees if *you* paid the listing fees yourself, outside of the commission.  All such expenses are sales expenses, and the program has a box for that on each individual asset in the Sale of Assets/Depreciation section.
