Yup ... you can enter it on the asset entry sheet ... just need to enter cost as 'cost or other basis' AND again as 'land included in cost'.  Then, drop down to dispositions and enter the 'land sales price' . Gain will show up on 4797.

What type of asset should it be?

ProSeries won't let me enter the same amount in 'cost or other basis' AND 'land included in cost'

Perhaps I should explain that the farm is on 16 acres of land, but they only sold 5 acres of it.
