Selling of farm land in trust and where to enter deductions for closing fee and taxes

Closing costs are deducted from the sales proceeds and reduce any gain. Property taxes paid at closing are a trust expense.

 

When entering the Sale of an Investment, check the box for "Add More Details" and "Start." Then continue to check the box for "proceeds are too high because of sales expense." Enter the closing fees in the sales expense box.
