Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Thank you so much.  I am going to get together the figures you asked for in terms of where TT puts them using fictitious numbers. 

 

The only difference is it wasn't our primary home, just a second smaller vacation home before it became a rental since we moved back to the USA in late 2011 and only went back to visit the overseas home about 3x and stayed about 1 week each time between 2012 and 2019. 

 

I called it a vacation rental as it was only rented out a few days, 30-67 days, per year between 2012 and 2019.  We sold it, closed in late Jan 2020 and did not rent it out at all in January 2020 but I had to put in 1 day at FMV in TT as putting in a 0 resulted in Sch E deletion by TT with a message saying it needed to be deleted.

I may need to reimport the 2019 return and start over but will check to see if just putting 1 day rental works. 

 

Back with more data soon.  Thank you again,
