When I sold my rental July 1, 2022, I had repairs to make of approx $10,000 negotiated in an agreement to complete before closing. How and where do I deduct those?

If you made the repairs before closing then you would add the $10,000 to your cost basis. The cost basis is the amount paid for the property plus improvements.

 

However, if the $10,000 was part of your Closing Expense (Check your Closing Statement), then this would be a selling expense.

 

In either of the above treatment, your gain on sale would be reduced by $10,000.

if truly repairs I would not report them as part of the sale but as repair expense on schedule E.
