itonewbie, maybe you or Ironman can use your mind reading skills 

As you can see original poster is hard to get info from. Reading between lines, I doubt his clients received any professional advice about their venture. I'm thinking that one of them received a 1099 S, so what would be the best way to report to IRS. I'm thanking a letter with clients return that had the 1099 S explaining he is reporting half, and his nephew is reporting the other half. Hope you two guys will jump in 🙂

Have they been filing a 1065 partnership return, or did they both just put rental on their 1040 schedule E

Were separate 1099-S forms issued to the two parties?  If the sale was reported to just one of them, you should anticipate and try to avoid problems with IRS matching.
