Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Yes, you will have to upgrade to TurboTax Premium to complete your inherited home information.  In TurboTax Premium, there is a section dedicated to the sale of a home, and it can be found in the Your income and expenses screen under the sub-heading, Less Common Income.  As you move through this section of the application, there is a screen, Sales Information, where you can enter your sales expenses.  

 

Any gain on the sale of the home will be considered a capital gain (here, it looks like a short-term) and is taxable income.  If you sold the inherited home for a loss, that loss can be deducted as a capital loss provided you sold the home in an arms length transaction, you did not sell it to a related party, and you and your siblings did not use the home as a personal residence.  

 

This sale will appear on Form 8949, Sales and Other Dispositions of Capital Assets and Schedule D, Capital Gains and Losses.
