My client received a 1099-S for sale of timber, I reported it on 8949 (D).  Is this correct?

Thank you, Yvonne

As long as it shows up as a long term capital gain when the day is done, you are good to go.

maybe, was this in the course of a related business, or just a personal sale?

I have put the sale of timber using the Capital Assets worksheet under form 8949 reporting exception transactions, which only asks for the proceeds and costs.  This flows to schedule D.  Not sure this is correct, but I don't think it goes under the farming 8949F as suggested by someone else.  Isn't there a place to directly input the 1099-S (proceeds from real estate transactions)?

Thanks again, Yvonne

I would put it on 8949 F (sale not reported on 1099b)
