Schedule D, then use the 1099-B worksheet. (Which is not quite correct, but it is the only place that works)

for the name, I would just put land,

then enter the information as best you can in the quick entry table. I get to the point as long as I come out with the correct gain reported, I quit worrying about the worksheet not fitting the situation correctly.

That looks like what I would do so long as the holding period was over 1 year

Yes, LT Gain, 5 years, and 15% rate.  You have been a great help.  This is my first time to do this and I am amazed with the results.  Thanks!! jd
