Yes, TurboTax can handle the sale of an investment property.  Since it was never rented, then it's an investment property assuming you never lived in it.

The screen images will show both TurboTax Desktop and TurboTax Online.

but i never took depreciation for 8 years either. I never even put it on tax return since it generated no income and only had expenses which i didn't deduct

Yes, that's correct. A real estate investment property is not going to have depreciation if you never placed the property in service. If you never rented it, there is no depreciation to recapture. It's simply an investment to record and gain/loss computed. To get started, see this link
