Can I add a land purchase to my tax report?

It depends on what you did with the land. You can deduct property taxes and possibly interest if you financed your purchase.

 

You can deduct property taxes in Deductions & Credits if the land is either personal or investment property. You can deduct investment interest up to the amount of your investment income if this is an investment property.

 

  • Type  property taxes in Search (magnifying glass) in the top right
  • Select  Jump to property taxes
  • On “Did you pay property or real estate taxes?,” select YES
  • On “Enter the property tax you paid in 2022” put your property tax in the right box

If you made money off the land — for example, renting the land or selling crop or timber — then you will report the income and deduct business expenses including property taxes and interest.

 

Where to enter this in TurboTax depends on business use.
