We are closing a Mary Kay Consultant home business. Never home office expenses.Have final, obsolete inventory (7000+) with no income for 2024. Should we enter the final inventory at 0, even though it will result in a loss of over 7000?f

Yes, you should enter the final inventory as 0, even if that results in a loss of over $700.  Also, since you are closing your business this year, you need to report your business and continue the entries as if you were reporting income and expenses from your business.  TurboTax will ask you for more information about your business, because there are some situations that could still affect your return this year.  Some of those could be if you sold your business, or if you had business property that you disposed of.  

When you edit this prompt, TurboTax will ask if you stopped your business, and will ask for more information on how to closed the business.  You will still have to go through the interview process for the business. The program will ask about income and expenses, and about any assets that the business had.
