REIT deductions

[Lexidog]

I invested about $35,000 in a REIT several years ago and was paid about $23,000 when the REIT matured in 2019.  Is this $12,000 a basis for a deduction on my 2019 taxes? How and where do I enter this info into TT software?

I would expect that you received a K-1 that documented the transactions.  It would be reported there.  It does sound like it is a final transaction.  If it is be sure to indicate that so that it doesn't carry over to next year.
