Thanks for the clarification! In that case, since my total sales were $7,400 and I did not make a profit overall, is it correct to enter the cost basis equal to the sales price so that the taxable gain is $0 and I am not claiming any loss? Just want to confirm that this treatment for personal-use items is correct and doesn’t raise any concerns. Really appreciate your help

as to real estate taxes, escrow deposits and payments are not deductible. you get the deduction when money is taken out of escrow to actually pay the taxes.   points are not de8uctible but must be amortized over the life of the mortgage. interest charges would also be deductible/     other than those items it's unlikely that any charges are currently deductible.  some might add to your basis others are personal expenses which are not deductible or capitalizable.       also, if you refi'd for more than the mortgage balance at that time, interest attributable to the additional borrowing might not be deductible.   

Thanks for the reply, but this doesn't seem possible, because only the top two numbers match boxes on the K-1 form:  the ordinary and qualified dividend income.  The labels of the final four numbers don't match descriptions on any of the other boxes of the K-1 form, so I have no idea how to enter them on a K-1.

When I had two homes in two different states. I established my permanent residency based on tax consequences. In the case at the time, it was irrelevant, how much time I spent in each location, under each state’s rules. One state had a Homestead act, one state had income tax.  By choosing Florida, I eliminated the New Hampshire interest and dividends tax and lowered my Florida property tax. I got my license, registered to vote, registered my cars, etc. in Florida. Keep in mind the current laws may be different, I only have property in one state now. Some states have requirements for number of days of residency. Often, you can make choices based upon your tax consequences in each individual state. Every situation is different, depending on the different states you own homes in. I cannot cover every situation; examine the tax consequences of your preferred primary residence state vs your other states. Some people choose to retire in a specific state to save taxes. Always abide by each state’s regulations and tax law.
