Try following Expert VictoriaD75's great explanation below:
The sale of a second home is entered in the Investment section. You will need the Premier edition to report the sale.
To enter an investment sale other than from a brokerage account (1099-B), follow the steps below.
To enter this transaction in TurboTax Online or Desktop, please follow these steps:
- Once you are in your tax return, click on the “Federal Taxes” tab ("Personal" tab in TurboTax Home & Business)
- Next click on “Wages & Income” ("Personal Income" in TurboTax Home & Business)
- Scroll down the screen until to come to the section “Investment Income”
- Choose “Stocks, Mutual Funds, Bonds, Other” and select “start’ (or “update” is you have already worked on this section) (see Screenshot #1)
- The first screen will ask if you sold any investments during the current tax year (This includes any sale of real property held as an investment property so answer “yes” to this question)
- Since you did not receive a 1099-B, answer “no” to the 1099-B question
- Choose type of investment you sold - select Second Home
- Some basic information:
- Description – Usually the basic timeshare information
- Sales Proceeds – Net proceeds from the sale
- Date Sold – Date you sold the property
