I granted a temporary right of way to the county for road upgrades in front of my house. They paid me $300 and sent a 1099-S. Where do I enter this form?

The right of way will revert back to me next year after the road upgrades, so this isn't a property sale.

I know it is not a sale, but that is still how it shows for tax purposes.  Due to the property cost being higher than the $300 you got for the right of way, you show it a sale for $300 and the cost for the same $300 on the tax return.

The net tax impact is $0 and the cost (or basis) of the property you own is reduced by $300.
