U.S. citizens and resident aliens are taxed on worldwide income, so the sale of land would be taxable to you unless you were a nonresident or were a nonresident at the time of sale.
I assume this is a personal sale and not the sale of business or investment property. Losses on personal sales are not deductible. If you sold at a loss, you do not have to report the sale.
If you sold land for a profit:
You’ll pay tax on the difference between the Proceeds and Total amount paid.
If you pay tax to Argentina on the sale you can claim a foreign tax credit or deduction.
Where do I enter the foreign tax credit (Form 1116) or deduction for 2020?
