  2. Type in the box "Capital Gains and Capital Gains Deduction Profile", select it from the list then click on "Go".

In this case, you will select the first option "Sold stocks, bonds, real estate, other capital property, or sold qualified small business corporation shares and/or qualified farm property and you have a capital gain or loss to report". Then click on "Continue".

You should now be able to enter any information related to the sale such as the Proceeds of Disposition (what you sold it for), the Adjusted Cost Base (what you purchased it for, plus any legal fees), and the Outlays and Expenses (which are the fees associated with the sale).  Enter the data, and make sure there are absolutely no errors.
