You need to report this as a sale under Investment Income. Because it is inherited property, the cost basis is considered to be the Fair Market Value of the property as of the date of death. 

In TurboTax for Premier,report the sale under the Federal Taxes Tab, , under Wages and Income. 

Scroll to Investment income, and choose Stocks, Mutual Funds, Bonds, Other.
