Question

How do I determine cash basis for 98 acres land and home purchased 35 years ago? Should I use last tax assessment?

The "basis" would be the price paid at the time it was purchased, 35 years ago.   

 

Added after original post:  Your cost basis would also include any improvements made to the home since purchase.

 

What exactly is your situation with this property?
