I sold non-producing minerals for $350,000 in 2013 that I inherited in 1984 (inventory value $1).
I did not receive a 1099-B or 1099-S Form from the Buyer (an investment firm) or from the IRS.
My accountant filed an extension back in April 2014 and informed me today that I owe $57,116 with Penalty & Interest (roughly 16.2% of $355,640) but I read on the IRS Site (http://www.irs.gov/taxtopics/tc409.html) that if your "ordinary income tax bracket" is 10% or 15% then 0% is owed on "long-term capital gain" (if single and asset sold for less than $400,000).
Social Security Income for 2013 = $8,400
Royalty Income for 2013 = $6,891 (after property tax & depletion allowance deductions)
Long-Term Capital Gain = $349,999 (after cost basis deduction)
Also, are the sale of minerals suppose be listed under section 1245 or 1250 (site below for Form 4797 Instruction's)
