Inherited the land in 2022 and sold it in 2022, how do you report the sale proceeds received and taxes paid in India at the sale?

The past posts for Tax Year 2019 suggested Turbo Tax selection does not match what we see in Turbo Tax for 2022.

What value is the cost basis for this land, as it was inheritance.,?

    The cost basis of inherited property is generally one of the following:

     

    See Is money received from the sale of inherited property considered taxable income?
     

    You can claim a foreign tax credit on income taxes paid
     

    1. Type foreign tax credit in Search (magnifying glass) in the upper right corner
    2. Select Jump to foreign tax credit
    3. Complete the screens to claim either the credit or deduction

    Transfer taxes are not deductible. You can add any of those taxes to your cost basis.
