BUG? Error in PA income calculation due to loss on house sale being counted as income
I sold a home in PA in 2023. Sold for same price I paid for, and accounting for other costs sale was a net loss. However, owned less than two years, so had to work through taxable sale worksheets. After working through the house sale worksheet for federal, turbotax determined I had a $44K loss and indicated that I don't need to report the sale.
Now when working on my PA state return, I work through the"taxable sale of a principal residence" section and on the net gain or loss screen turbotax states "Your net Pennsylvania loss on the residential part of the sale of your personal residence is $43,914.00. This will not appear on your tax return." after it imports the information from the federal worksheet. However, on the Pennsylvania incomes/deductions summary screen, it lists the $43,914 as "Sales, Exchanges, Dispositions" income, ultimately leading to me owing $1400 in income tax on the loss amount.
I think this is a bug in the carryover from the worksheet, and would appreciate some help tracking this down.
