HOW DO I REPORT THE SALE OF PROPERTY (HOME & LAND) ONCE OWED BY PARENTS AND DIVIDED AMOUNG SEVERAL SIBLINGS; RECEIVED SUBSTITUTE FORM 1099-S?

[KarenJ · Accepted solution]

You will each need to agree on what part of the 1099-S proceeds you will input as your personal part of the proceeds. If there are 3 siblings the total of the 3 proceeds must equal the total on the 1099-S. 

There is adjusted cost basis to the value on the date of the deceased’s death.

You would also divide the cost basis and the amounts you include as cost basis must equal the total cost basis.
