What do I put in box 2 of the 1099-A form?

This is where you add all your extras to the purchase price. So in the example of buying a house, you add the 5% trustee fee to the purchase price of the home. [Multiply the purchase price of the home by 1.05]. Then add closing costs, home insurance, moving costs,
renovations, interior design, furniture, linens, solar, emergency generators, landscaping, outbuilding construction etc.

The amount in Box 2 will always be higher than the amount in Box 4.
