    In TurboTax (TT), enter at:
    - Federal Taxes tab 

     - Wages & Income

    Scroll down to:

    -Investment Income

       -Stocks, mutual funds, Bonds, Other (Real estate is other)

    Answer no, when asked if you got a 1099-B. then follow the interview. 

    When asked if used for business or rental, check "other investment purpose". But, you cannot claim a loss, if you are selling to a related party or the property was used for personal use, and was not treated as investment property.

    Why are you selling for half what it's worth? That questions whether you will be able to claim a  capital loss on your tax return.
