    Taxes on Inherited property when co-successor trustees
    My sister and I inherited my dads property in 2008. It was never lived in nor rented and did not sell until 2011 at a substantial loss from the date of inheritance. The title company sent me a 1099-S but did not send one to my sister. How do I put this on my taxes and my sister's? Do I just split the total sale and thus loss on my schedule D? Thanks for any help.

    The loss you incurred is NOT deductible because the property is considered personal in nature, but, due to the Form 1099-S, it MUST be reported on your tax return.

    Splitting the ownership serves no purpose.
