It is the correct way to report it, however, you can deduct your share of the selling expenses from the gross proceed.

Sales expenses include:

commissions
appraisal fees
broker's fees
legal fees
advertising fees
home inspection reports
title insurance
transfer taxes or fees
geological surveys
loan charges (points) or other fees paid on the buyer's behalf
any fees for a service that helped you sell your home without a broker (listing fees, promotional fliers, etc.)

Would the property taxes for the current year paid by the seller which were deducted from the selling price in the real estate transaction be considered sales expenses that can be included on the tax return expenses?
