In TurboTax (TT), enter at:
- Federal Taxes tab (Personal in  Home & Business)

 - Wages & Income

Scroll down to:

-Investment Income

   -Stocks, mutual funds, Bonds, Other (Timber is other)

Select "No financial institution". Cost basis for timber is usually zero. Timber basis is not the cost of the property. For a discussion on Timber Basis, see https://www.extension.purdue.edu/extmedia/FNR/FNR_FAQ_2.pdf
