Reporting Capital Gains when bought house with brother.
We used self-employed online version of turbotax
Here is the scenario, and our questions.
My husband and his brother bought their grandmother's home and farmland this year.
-Each have 50% Ownership.
-They Plan to sell both house and farmland (separately) within the first year of ownership.
-We will be paying Capital Gains ahead of time, (at the time of sale), not at tax time.
When it comes to reporting this on taxes:
Questions:
1. What information will you need ready to provide when reporting Capital Gains on house and farmland, just purchase and sale price?
2. Since they both have 50% ownership in farmland and house, If asked what the purchase price was, would my husband only put what his 50% purchase amount of it was? Or do you have to report the full amount paid by both brothers together but then it will ask your percentage of ownership later? Same would go for reporting sale price too?
EXAMPLE: Purchase price $100,000 Total. Does he report $100,000 OR just the 50,000 (50%)he paid himself?
3. Can you please explain exactly how you go about reporting all of this in turbotax in the Self-Employed Version? I don't want to miss any necessary forms I am required to fill in.
Thank you for your time.
