Several years ago my Dad gave me several parcels of rural farm land which he had inherited from his Mother in 1960. Last year I sold one of the parcels and now as tax time rolls around, I need to determine what my basis is in this land. As I understand it, my basis will be the same as my father's when he inherited it. However, I have no idea how to find out what that amount would be. I can't ask my Dad for assistance, as he died last year. Have any of you had such a situation and do you have any suggestions as to how I might be able to determine the value of a plot of land in 1960?
