A taxpayer own a rental home.
The city is expanding the road and bought a small portion of the land lot of his rental property for $25,000.00. He was issued and received form 1099-S.
1. Can I just reduce the basis of the land by the $25,000.00 the taxpayer received?
2. If I did not report the sale, would the IRS come back the the taxpayer need to report the sale?

1) In most cases, yes. Unless you have a way to determine the Basis of the specific piece of land, you just reduce the Basis of the entire land.
2) Probably, so I would report it as $25,000 Sale Price with $25,000 Basis.
