Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Since you didn't report this property as a rental, this is treated as the sale of an inherited property. 

 

Enter this under Stocks, Cryptocurrency, etc.

  1. Add a new investment (at the bottom), choosing "Other" investment type.
  2. Enter a description like "Inherited Residence"
  3. Type: Second Home or Other
  4. Inherited it (important - it's always considered held long term which provides a special tax break)
  5. Description: Address is a good choice
  6. Date of sale
  7. Proceeds from Form 1099-S
  8. Fair Market Value (read "Learn More" link)
  9. Enter sales expenses (if any)

TurboTax will calculate the gain (if any). You won't report a loss.
