State tax filing

Here is the solution. Since this is not a reportable transaction because it is an overall loss on the sale my advice is to remove all of the information from the federal return.  This removes it from the Pennsylvania (PA) return and corrects the balance due.  As indicated the sale is a personal loss and is not allowed to offset any other income on the federal return.  As far as PA goes, they do not allow any personal use property losses either.  Your return is completely correct without the disallowed loss.

 

This will resolve this experience without issue because the information that is not required to be reportable is not actually sent with the return data.  

 

Keep all of your documents related to the sale and purchase of this home with your tax records for at least three years.
