We know you can use lower-case letters because your last 4 posts, in 2020 and 2022, accomplished that.  Welcome back, and please provide more details.

He sold a property and paid a debt that he owed. 

Why do you think anything would be deductible if he paid a debt?

Yes, if the property was sold at a gain there will be capital gain tax.
