Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Yes, a capital loss is allowed for the sale of inherited property when the taxpayer/beneficiary did not live there as their main home. It is considered as investment property and the information will be received on the K-1, then entered into the tax returns.  This loss will offset any capital gains and then other income depending on the tax returns of the beneficiaries.
