  1. TurboTax thinks you have an installment sale because IRS Form 6252 was generated.
    • Online: Go to Tax Tools > Tools > Delete a form. Find Form 6252 (Installment Sale Income) and delete it.
    • Desktop: Switch to Forms Mode, locate Form 6252 in the left sidebar, and select Delete.
  2. After deleting the form, log out and back in to save changes. Go back to the "Sale of Home" section. When prompted, ensure you do not select any boxes related to receiving payments in future years.
  3. Ensure you have answered "No" to the question: "Will the total selling price be determined by the end of the year?" Answering "Yes" here often triggers the installment sale loop.
