I have new client who got divorced in 2020. She had a joint rental property with her ex-husband which she sold in 2020. She is liable for 50% gain on the rental property sale. How should I show rental property sale 2020 single tax return? Should I create a mock 2019 return and transfer all data to 2020? Or show the rental property sale on F 4797 in 2020 itself?

If she owned 50% of it you report 50% of everything on her 2020 return.

The sale is reported on Form 4797.

The more I know the more I don’t know.
