i don't think we can properly answer your question. we don't know what these additional expenses are or what the nature of the original investment was. the expenses may be deductible on schedule D, but maybe somewhere else or they may not be deductible at all. 

It was a land investment which was in litigation and now there are legal fees associated with the prior ownership and sale.
I would think it's an "adjustment to gain or loss" on 8949, but TT won't give me a copy of 8949 unless certain things are entered on Schedule D.
