Retirement tax questions
When I click Sales expenses a drop down back appears looking for a value. What did you enter for the value?
Also what date acquired did you put on?
Sales expenses
Sales expenses are for any sales expenses you paid that weren't already subtracted from the gross sale proceeds to get the amount of sale proceeds (reported in box 1d if you have Form 1099-B or box 1f if you have Form 1099-DA).
Sales expenses aren't common for stocks, and other securities (for securities, sales expenses are usually already subtracted from the gross proceeds to get the amount reported in 1d or 1f).
However, if you sold investment real estate, you probably paid sales expenses, such as broker commissions and transfer fees.
Examples of items to include here:
- Wire transfer fees
- Phone or fax fees
- Express delivery fees
