Reporting trust land sale

First, I apologize for this repeated question, but I cannot find a satisfactory answer. My situation is straightforward. I'm using TT for Businesses to file trust taxes as the successor trustee. In 2021, some land that was held by the trust was sold. I need to know exactly where and how to enter this in TT. Entering it as Rental Property (it was leased for a few months in 2021) that was sold doesn't work, as TT does not ask me anything about the proceeds from the sale. Neither do I see anywhere to enter it as farmland that was sold. I have spent way too much time on this one item, so some help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

John

If it was a rental, you would enter it as a rental, report the 2021 income and expenses. Select that it was sold in 2021.

Revisit Rentals, review, select edit next to the property, scroll down to Sale of Property/Depreciation and enter the sale there.

OR since there would be no deprecation involved for land, enter it as a sale of investment, but you would still need to claim the rent income.
