Post: Utility Easement payment & the IRS

Posted by Kathryn on 2/24/07
My husband and I have owned our primary home for 8 years. In 2006, the utility company gave us an easement payment for expanding the existing easement and to compensate the larger electric poles replacing the old ones. We received $7300 for the land and $2500 for waiving additioanl appraisals. For taxes, they sent us a 1099-S with the total amount of $9800 in box 2 and EASEMENTS in box 3. What are our responsibilities for tax purposes and where does this go on the form? Thank you, Kathryn PS: I've been batting zero at any definative answer so far.
