Sale of primary Residence

Hello,

I sold my primary Residence in September $340,000. I have lived in that home since 1992 and always owned it. 
Turbo tax has a couple columns I’m not sure what the answer would be and can use some help please.

What would I enter(or how would I calculate) and  for proceeds of disposition adjusted cost base? Any help is greatly appreciated. I live in the province of Alberta. Thank u

Sale of primary Residence

The proceeds of disposition is usually the amount you received or will receive for your property. In most cases, it refers to the sale price of the property. This could also include compensation you received for property that has been destroyed, expropriated, or stolen.


Adjusted cost base (ACB) is usually the cost of a property plus any expenses to acquire it, such as commissions and legal fees. Adjustments can also include items such as capital expenditures.
