Can you give more detail...   

Your client received 1099-S for proceeds from land sale - correct?

This land is/was part of the principal residence property - correct?   

The state purchased the land ?

I'll tell you what I've done when I've had clients land purchased by the state for widening roadways. 

I reported the sale proceeds and cost basis as same $$.   The taxpayer's principal property basis is then reduced by the sale proceeds.
